Is she a Windows developer?

The developers who complained to me about this are Windows developers regularly.

One is even a professional AAA DirectX gamedev.

Apparently not professional enough to know a feature as old as Windows 2000.

Egads, if the parent post wasn't edited, then I misread it. Sorry about the confusion.

It was edited.

I think you misread that line.

Their message originally read "Actual Windows developers know NTFS has Symbolic Links"

Dylan16807 · on June 18, 2022

So it did say "developers" and not "users"?

I think they misread the line.

(Whether it was right or not, so you don't need to tell me anything about that.)

Would anyone like to explain their downvotes?

From my point of view, even when someone is on the correct 'side' of an argument, if they got there by mistake it's still important to point that out. Both fortran77 and CoastalCoder can be wrong at the same time.

Is "I think you misread that line" far ruder than I thought it was?

...surely "I doubt my mom knows" wasn't supposed to be a developer anecdote that I misunderstood massively?
