This happens once a week: me: <learns a thing by doing it> me, on twitter: "I'm doing XYZ" rando: words that boil down to "oh, you just wasted $200 and are going to have to deal with a mess because you're dumb and did the wrong thing" why do people do this?

Right. I mostly do it around ideas. I assume anyone actually doing a thing knows a hell of a lot more than me about the thing.

I see my communication failure now. I was mentioning that “don’t argue with people” was something I had to build into my human emulation machine. Not suggesting that you (of all people!) were averse to argument in general.

If you say "I did X" and I believe "Doing X was a mistake", how can I discuss this with you without leaving you with the impression that I'm accusing you of being a fool and making mistakes?
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
