Uhm, generally speaking you are correct. But you run into a lot of them going out to meetups. I&#x27;m trying to build a business, I can&#x27;t just lock myself away in my basement and code away anymore, I have to get out and meet people. My general experience has been that there is always at least one person in the crowd who will be incensed that you are not using Angular&#x2F;Lowdash&#x2F;Underscore&#x2F;React&#x2F;Haskell&#x2F;a particular ORM&#x2F;something other than an ORM&#x2F;what-have-you.<p>There&#x27;s a certain type of person that needs their personal choices validated by seeing the same choices made by other people. The name for this type of person is &quot;the majority&quot;. It&#x27;s how we get people who think Ford Mustangs are the greatest or shittiest car in the world, when they are neither. It&#x27;s how we get people voting Demican or Republicrat every year, in every election, across the board. It&#x27;s how we get people who only drink Bud Light. It&#x27;s how we get people who think Age of Ultron was the greatest movie ever.<p>For as much as technology peoples like to think they are rational, thinking, open-minded people, we can tend to be extremely tribal.<p>I&#x27;ve personally found that the best way to avoid those people is to actually be <i>more</i> outgoing, to be friendly and inviting and just someone that everyone wants to hang out with. Because then you can&#x27;t get <i>stuck</i> with these randos.
