> “Everyone who disagrees with me are just bigots!” isn’t the standard we should encourage — and that’s all you’ve said.

If you cannot admit that the people who regularly visit 4chan are bigots, then you are not arguing in good faith. That is a fundamental premise to continue the discussion.

If we can't agree on that premise, then your comments are not particularly useful. This is okay bait at best.

This specifically installs the Visual C++ Compiler and the Windows headers so that you can get a command prompt with all that in your PATH. It is not a full-fat VS install. The difference is something like 20-30GBs for the full VS install vs 1-2GB for these specific components.

Yup, they may add support for Safari and call it a day. Hopefully they don't treat Firefox the same way they treated Windows Phone.

Try a Ghost Pipe tincture.

>Start feeding these trends into your projects. Even if you aren't a big fan of them, it's good to remember that design is effective when it appeals to your target audience and not yourself.

Yeah, this is when it became evident that this was about chasing visual design trends, not about user experience.

I find it hilarious that no one does this amount of 'critical thinking' with their other classes and instead gobbles up the dribble from professors in technical subjects.

> I think they are stuck in the "When you only have a hammer, everything looks like a nail" mentality. I see a similarly annoying tone in the more techie social media personalities too, they don't just explain what's not working for them, they actually lecture the engineers that made this thing.

Fair point.

>The number of followers is not an engineering degree’s GPA. It is like a flavour of anti-intellectualism.

I disagree here though. The engineers and product managers who make this stuff are often so detached from what's going on the ground or how people are actually using these products that someone who speaks for the layman is truly needed. There's also a wide variety of tech influencers out there, some who make cogent arguments about the product (Dieter Bohn comes to mind) and others who parrot those arguments absently mindedly. That latter group could conceivable be called anti-intellectual.
