Pi joke -> Cory doctrow, boingboing
other people also feel strongly about cli commands
the urge to correct people / being pedantic
comes from insecurity
people will think I'm not smart enough
the value comes from being smart
or not belonging
and will then point at other people
this creates a bad cycle
debates about how to treat people were important
technical problems weren't that bad
don't define identity on being smarter / better
making fun of people doesn't make people learn
don't discourage people from learning
