the fact that this comment was controversial and kept getting downvoted and upvoted is hilarious 2 me
people either loved it or got butthurt. which also perfectly reflects the social dynamics I have experienced in tech. people either love me or hate my guts. and all I ever do is just point out shit

![A comment on hn by me about an autism simulator
Scrolling through the comments and noticed that they are a pretty good autism simulator for working in tech with autism. The entire cast of typical characters is represented.
- guy that thinks everyone has the tism and the spectrum is everyone - this guy has more trouble reading the room than anyone. but it is the lack of empathy and not autism
- guy that thinks everything is a microaggression towards his autism and ironically makes it harder for other autists
- guy with probable schizoid personality disorder that thinks struggling with people and social issues is just life because everyone is stupid and annoying
- guy who read Bad Therapy once and now thinks autism is a tiktok trend
- insufferable fedora guy that thinks psych is unscientific - probably secretly has severe depression and is making it everyone else's problem by being a jerk. whenever called out 4 being jerk blames the autism he probably doesn't actually have
- guy who thinks the solution is just be yourself
- guy with trauma from being themselves landing them on a PIP
A primary problem in tech is how everyone is seriously lacking in social skills and empathy. This is exhausting for autists and everyone. The real autism simulator is just existing in tech.

playing with zen mode (hides rating) on lichess sometimes gives me a whirlwind of emotions because I'll get destroyed and feel like I suck at chess and then it will turn out to be 2532 GM top five in the 90s Jaan Ehlvest

I like bullet because winning against a 2300 down a full rook from the opening hits better than playing a good game

Winning a game where you mouse slip and lose piece and then outplay a 2200 (lichess bullet) actually hits better than winning a game where you played well

This was a meh game but the tactic at the end where I won ALL the material when they thought they had a crushing tactic was so satisfying

Way too many people view El** as smart but an asshole still and are trying to explain his behaviors as some sort of clever fascist biz tactics. Have we not all learned by now he is and always was a fucking idiot. The genius thing was a grift from the beginning
