That is generally not how people use it these days. It always amazes me when people insist a word must have only one meaning and that must be the original meaning. The idea that language isn't fluid is very silly to me, and by that, I don't mean prosperous. Maybe it isn't the best meme. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] frayedpickles@lemmy.cafe 3 points 2 years ago* (1 child) Well the article is about two paragraphs long, so why don't you highlight the section you think backs up your point because I sure don't see it. And to be clear, a product executive at VW is by no stretch "in tech". I'd even consider IBM to be more of a tech company than VW, and IBM has more in common with PWC than apple. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) I mean it's literally right there: but some programmers self-describe themselves as a brogrammer positively as a word for "sociable or outgoing programmer", and it also tends to represent a subculture within the greater tech industry. So that's three different meanings for the same word. Again, it sounds to me like it's possible for words to have more than one meaning or for word meanings to change. But that's just my liberal woke viewpoint obviously. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] frayedpickles@lemmy.cafe -1 points 2 years ago* (1 child) So you're leaning harder into the part I took most issue with? The deciders here are not programmers. Also, that behavior is a coping mechanism for not wanting to believe they are misogynistic douches. And uh....what the fuck are you talking about with bringing in liberal woke viewpoint as a thing in this conversation? I sincerely hope you're just a Russian troll because otherwise you're incomprehensible. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago No, you're right. Words only ever mean one thing and it is only the original thing they meant and not the thing they mean now. How nice of me.
