The programming community and the furry community are an interesting pair. In one way, they are polar opposites of each other, and yet both of them share what seems to be a ubiquitous aspect of humanity - a small percentage of them are completely ... insane. The difference is that the furry community is about positive feelings, and the programming community is centered around negative feelings.

i admit i have been guilty of defending an ignorant choice, for example i remember my early days where i was asked about my choice of a mailing list manager written in C as opposed to one written in python. at that time i honestly believed that something as important as a mailing list manager could not ever possibly be done well in something like this newfangled language python that didn't toss out compiled executables. how did i know? i had done a C introductory course years earlier and never written a line of C code since, nor had i ever used python for that matter. today i regret doing that. had i chosen python i might have started hacking the code and even contributing to it.

i wish someone had proven me wrong at that time, but we didn't even have an argument. it was just a question, i made my choice, as i was the admin, and that was that.

so yes, when people make those comments, they quite likely honestly believe in them. but some of them may still be open minded and willing to listen to reason once they get a good talking to.

greetings, eMBee.
