Who's barring cannabis users? Red Cross at least only has a problem if your decision-making appears impaired. They don't even ask you to wait between smoking and donating as long as you're thinking clearly enough.
Stuff like this is a big part of why software circles are seen as so hostile and unwelcoming to outsiders.
You can be completely clear and frank without resorting to insult, mild though it may be. Just because you and people most like you understand that calling their work 'shit' doesn't reflect on them personally, doesn't mean it's not significantly exclusionary.
Now, obviously you can get to know your reports well enough to understand whom would take 'shit' well, but that doesn't mean it's not generally important to temper criticism with kindness. Kindness never has to mean holding back criticism, just avoiding stooping to insult.
"You're dumb" is disrespectful, but "your code is shit" isn't? How does the latter not reasonably imply the former?
Being respectful is taking the time to moderate "your code is shit" to something like "your code is not acceptable". You might even go a modicum further into kindness with "there are aspects of your code I need you to improve".
All express the same idea, some will leave the listener more open to internalizing the criticism.
That was before people had experienced consumerism. It doesn't make sense to compare people existing without knowing of consumerist luxuries to asking people to give them up. Not saying it's hopeless, but it is human nature. It's animal nature. We've just moved ourselves into a world where those advantages have become disadvantages.
Work Time Fun is a sort of strung-out Wario Ware that I really enjoyed back in the day. If you like minigames, trinkets, and grinding, then check it out.
I suppose I don't see what is conceptually challenging about chords; they're just physically annoying and require memorization. Most people are used to control key chords at least, so emacs benefits from that. Whereas vim requires a deeper shift in thinking.
Memorizing chords is conceptually simpler than taking on a modal mindset. I sure got pissed at insert mode plenty of times while I was learning vim.
Thankfully this was during my college masochistically-acquiring-skills-that-make-me-feel-cool phase where I was also learning LaTeX, so I just focused on the future gainz. I'm so glad I did on both counts.
