Couldn't agree more. It's easy too say we're over sensitive or can't take a joke, but ultimately we're just tired of a group that bonds over jokes like this. For *years*. Some push back is necessary, otherwise people never question their assumptions.

Yeah, tired is exactly my reaction. Why not throw in a couple of 0.1 + 0.2 jokes while we're at it.

I remember when I joined Rangle.io having coworkers say "We hate client side JavaScript, why would you do it full stack?" - I was one of the weird ones at the time that actually likes JavaScript

I don't do as much backed these days, but love bringing that skillet, knowledge and experience to the front end.

If like other isms, you substitute another language name in there and ask if it's offensive, you'll still get polarised opinion. I found it amusing - I'm an experienced JS Dev, but don't pay much attention to more hostile negativity. I can see how it can grind people down though.

I guess I'm ok with the joke because I've overengineered a lot of stuff, in many languages. More of a rite of passage. You can teach best practice all you want, but many of us don't learn until we've felt the pain of rewriting something n-times better.

When the development time for JavaScript is faster than other languages, the economics speaks for itself.
