What a great way to say to someone that their words could've had some value if they hadn't been too crude/maybe rude and said things in a different manner lol.

I don't agree with the author's standpoint but I can kinda understand it but their passive aggression on the parent comment was just not needed and this clever way of saying it was kinda cool. I learnt something new to say but I am not sure how many ways it would be viable to say this

Any other quotes like this that you might want to share?

No need to ask him; ask ChatGPT. That’s what he did: “Please give me a latin phrase that says someone would seem more intelligent if they had remained silent.”

ChatGPT has lifted Latin putdowns from the province of Harvard classics major to computer programmers.

As the other commenter noted, I stole it from Yes Minister, not ChatGPT.

I take issue with your implication that software developers can't have other interests. What a fucking narrow minded view of the world your must have.
