People who are insecure about their expertise in many subjects, (especially within art and the humanities, in my experience,) will unfailingly use any opportunity to point out when they know something someone else doesn’t. However, if someone posted “check out my super rad FP framework,” but it was actually OO with some bolted-on FP ideas, even if it was neat in its own right, people here would be totally justified in saying “hey… about that whole FP thing...”

Even if they look similar, there’s a big difference between sour grapes ego boosting, and people with subject matter expertise pointing out common misconceptions. A major problem with Engineer’s Disease is mistaking the former for the latter based on maybe having read a few blog posts and falling down a research rabbit hole once two years prior.

Thank you!
