"he practices a kind of "tough love" approach where he uses colourful language and shows a bit of attitude in an attempt to motivate the recipient of his advice to be a better developer." Given that you did not attempt to argue against that approach I can only assume you agree with it. You also drone on about 'coping in the real world'. Presumably you mean that being abused gets you used to that sort of behavior so you can better cope with it when confronted by the sort of egotistical sad sack that infests many a software team. Well I'll tell you something, being an arsehole is not a prerequisite of membership of any software team that I have anything to do with. The only thing it guarantees is that the miscreant gets shown the door a bit sharpish. > It's not much of a stretch to suspect you are simply arguing for the > sake of arguing in a manner very reminiscent of trolling.
