Having a hard time determining whether this is sarcasm or not. Then I see the phrase "JavaScript Engineer" and become doubly confused.

I don't think it's satire, this guy is actively defending this on Linkedin: https://i.imgur.com/SlJPG85.png

I distinguish four types. There are clever, hardworking, stupid, and lazy officers. Usually two characteristics are combined. Some are clever and hardworking; their place is the General Staff. The next ones are stupid and lazy; they make up 90 percent of every army and are suited to routine duties. Anyone who is both clever and lazy is qualified for the highest leadership duties, because he possesses the mental clarity and strength of nerve necessary for difficult decisions. One must beware of anyone who is both stupid and hardworking; he must not be entrusted with any responsibility because he will always only cause damage.

-- Kurt von Hammerstein

LinkedIn is Facebook for that last type.

That's a relief because I thought I'd stumbled into LinkedIn Lunatics for a hot second.

[–] termus@beehaw.org 18 points 1 year ago

Linkedin is for lunatics. Just a bunch of goobers giving digital handjobs to each other.

[–] BatmanAoD@programming.dev 6 points 1 year ago

Wow, of course he's pretending the response is a misrepresentation of his opinion instead of defending it in good faith.

That could still be trolling. But LinkedIn is so full of utter garbage like this that it’s believable

[–] RonSijm@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

I don't think so. I just made a screenshot of one random convo he's having about this, but there's loads more in a similar fashion.

And all of his other posts besides this one seem legit on the surface.

So it would be pretty weird if he randomly has a very bad take, and then just claims "Lol this was a troll post, gotcha!"... That's pretty much the 4chan defense when you get called out - "Haha guys, I'm actually not r-worded, I'm just trolling!"

I think the latter makes clear that this is a joke account, doesn’t it?

Node: "Am I a joke to you?"
