Hey guys, just FYI, don't make sexual analogies between you and technologies in blog posts like this. It's super creepy! Edit: The breakup analogy, while stupid, isn't that creepy, but personifying technologies as sexual relationships sure is. We're technologists, this post can be just as entertaining if the title is "Why I'm No Longer Using Angular"

Maybe it’s creepy for you or a bunch of others. I find it funny, at least until it’s used with caution and in the right contexts. We’re adults, sex and technology (along with a lot of other things) are parts of our life, I really don’t see the problem here.

There is a wide range of human experience, but they are not all appropriate for this context specifically.

It is a lot more creepy people who can't see a sexual analogy without freaking out.

Why do you think your opinion matters that you think something shitty is funny? Default to listening, not arguing in something that's not an argument.

Chill bro. Innocent sexual statements are a trigger for you?

You’re just trying to impose your opinion. Speaking about sex or even a love relation is not shitty. If you’re triggered with it, all I can do is avoiding to talk about it in front of you in person. In all other cases it’s your problem, not mine.

I think it's all part of the joke that it's creepy.
