      I do like the idea of a conference rubric, but using "Competent" instead of "Intermediate" is an oddly tone-deaf, off-putting choice.https://twitter.com/lambda_conf/status/803695008100466688 …

      I think this is fine. The goal is to help people decide what talks to see. I think we should strive to not take things personally

      the goal is great, the idea is innovative, and the whole thing is well-meant. Words matter to me and IMO this one was poorly chosen.

          but it's clear that not everyone agrees with me on that, which is fine.

          my reactionary feeling is the lament that so many programmers seem to want the profession to be intellectually shallow. Not you.

          but I get sad at the thought of pushback on the idea that you could spend a carrier with each year learning more depth.

          I've no intention of pushing back on that. Just on the implicit label "incompetent" attached to anyone ignorant of functional lenses.

          in particular, partitioning your audience into "competent" and (necessarily, therefore) "incompetent" feels like poor marketing.

          I hear you. But I think competency can mean something without being pejorative to all that have not reached competency.

          With types, names do not matter. With people, names matter.
