I recall seeing a project on github with a comment:

Q: "Sooo... what does this do that Ansible doesn't?"

A: "I've never heard of Ansible until now."

Lots of people think they are the first to come across some concept or need. Like every generation when they listen to songs with references to drugs and sex.

Come on music is very much cross generational?

I think software engineering have so many social problems to a level that other fields just don't have. Dogmatism, superstition, toxicity ... you name it.

"Dogmatism, superstition, toxicity"

You must not know any electricians. These behaviors are far from unique to one field.

You ever run into mathematicians? It's a wonder they don't all kill each other. Academics are vicious.
