worst time of my life was when i was in computer science. i'm a guy but still - that hyper competitive shit is horrilbly toxic. letters on a computer don't need to be boot camp toughen up bullshit.

Honestly, I fare even worse in blue collar type environments. YMMV depending on your upbringing and general tolerance, but a lot of the “playful banter” I witness is stuff that would have you expelled from student associations these days.

That’s not an endorsement of tech bros btw. They are toxic. The fact that other people are toxic in a different way does not exonerate them.
