You apologists and excuse-makers are slow.  Please try to keep up.  I already debunked that excuse.

No, you seem to be the slow one. Show me with diagrams where I said anything about Lynnabel, fuckle.

This is funny.  You say you care about how well a dev performs their job but then you proceed to list a bunch of traits and skills that aren't really what a developer does.  They're traits and skills typically associated with some sort of community liaison position. 

Sure, everyone wants the unicorn employee who's amazing at everything, but the reality is most people are only really good at a few specific things and smart employers will put the right skillsets in the right seats to fully leverage those strengths and simultaneously mitigate the weaknesses.

Personally, I'd rather have devs that know the code they work on inside and out, who understand how to design systems with planned growth and expansion rather than just fixing the immediate problem, and who fully understand the overall, real-world, big-picture impact of the code changes they make.



I was using the term "Dev" generically to refer to "an employee of the developer of the product"  not "software developer" as a specific job title.  Turbine is the "Developer" of the game and their employees are often collectively referred to as "The Devs" regardless of their specific job function or skill sets. 

I agree with you that actual software developers should be hired for the quality of their coding skills more than their customer service/communication skills.   If you find a unicorn that's great, but they are rare and expensive and difficult to retain.  So you have to be realistic about what you can expect from any one team member.

My mistake.  Let me re-analyze your statement:
kum-gulp wrote on Aug 12th, 2019 at 1:00pm:
One of the best players I've ever run with only had a single hotbar on the screen. Everything else was in macros or key mappings.

Not a diagram, but here you go:
Point 1 - A significant portion of this thread has been the discussion of the lack of Lynn's in-game DDO skills
Point 2 - I pointed out that Lynn only uses 2 or 3 hotbars and mouse-clicks most stuff as evidence to support the premise that he's not very good at DDO
Point 3 - You reply in the middle of said discussion with the above quoted comment which states that one of the best DDO players you know uses macros and key mappings in lieu of additional hotbars.
Point 4 - There were no prior discussions in this thread regarding the number of hotbars in the UI and macros for anyone other than Lynn.
Point 5 - Since we had discussed no other players' hotbar count by name in this entire thread, I, and I suspect others, inferred that your comment was related to the discussion about Lynn's hotbars.

So essentially, you walked into the middle of people discussing how bad Miller Lite beer is and randomly said "Lite beer is great." but didn't intend it as a counterpoint to the premise that Miller Lite beer is terrible? 

Ok, I will take your claim at face value.  Allow me to revise my response since your original statement apparently had nothing to do with the discussion at hand.

All I've got for you at this point is, "cool story, bro".

That's what I thought.

I seem to recall Lynnabel once identified herself as "Ellen" in one of her first dev chats.

I had no idea she now refers to herself as "Quentin."

Regardless of her name change, until she gets sex re-assignment surgery (that means gets a penis, Digi), I'm going to keep referring to her as "her" or "she."

Until then, she's just a poseur.

It just reminded me that hotbar numbers have nothing to do with competence. I didn't say she was competent.

I was as on-topic to slaver mat requirements as you were. Your digression is okay though I guess!  Roll Eyes

That's right.  Neither of us was on-topic for the OP.  The off-topicness wasn't the issue though.  The ambiguity of what you were offtopic about was. 

All offtopic posts are stupid, but this is the Vault so stupid posts are par for the course.

Whatever works for you, no matter how very unsurprisingly small-minded I guess.

That's okay though.  Until you start being correct and making intelligent posts on a regular basis, I'm going to continue referring to you as an idiot.

Odds are you have to have to start referring to Lynn as "he" per your own phobic criteria before I have to stop calling you an idiot per my criteria.

Phobia? Lol! That's funny!

Either she's committed to it or she's not.

As long as she has that XX chromosome, Quentin will always be a female. That's just a biological fact.

If she fully commits by taking testosterone and other hormones as part of her transition and also gets surgically altered, I'd respect that and would gladly call her a him and she a he, XX chromosome notwithstanding.

Until then, she's just play acting.

I'd call it virtue signaling because of how hard Digi is trying.

I deal with these types every day. They are some of the least genuine people you'll ever meet. I see right through them.

You think I care one iota if idiots like you think I'm virtuous or morally superior?  /facepalm

Make no mistake, this is entirely for the LOLs.  I thought that would have been obvious even for slow people like you.

Lynnabel is a wahmen with a vijayanagara who cut her hair short and wants to be called a male name.

Aka she's a carpet munching dyke who got confused and thinks she is a dude.

Kinda hilarious that a mental case is the closest thing to a competent player (still not a good player) on the entire dev team, even a mouse clicker with 3 hotbars  is a better player than Jerry the boomer.

The vault is the online equivalent to a middle school boys locker room in a lot of ways.   There is a Newsfeed line that has been around for 8+ years which is roughly "anyone coming here looking for anything more sophisticated than a dick joke better get used to disappointment".    You bring up a topic like gender identity and biological gender, which is a complex and emotionally charged issue, and you will get a lot of immature and offensive comments.

I get it, I was in the same mindset as you a few years ago, but the science is there and the science is more complicated than what we were raised with.
