Being a jackass does not make you a better coder, it just makes you a jackass.

Thin skin much? It was a (possibly lame) attempt at self-deprecating humor.

I was trying to say that not everyone is cut out for coding, and if you haven't had an interest in it (or that type of thing) before, you probably won't be very good at it. I have seen this with a bunch of people who thought they'd get into IT and be millionaires.

I know it's hard to tell in type, but I wasn't offended. I know people who fit the stereotype, but I also know gregarious, social, coders.
