EDIT: I don’t like the term ‘soy boy’, just picked ‘soydev’ for a lack of a better word, intending to use it semi-ironically.
recently I saw a project move PR discussions to discord, like what’s the point of using a git forge at this point, you can as well just use git send-email
I thought it was a racist slur for Asian devs…never heard the term soyboy before, but would have assumed racist slur as well.
never seen it used in such context
I mean like i said, I have never even seen it used before, in any context, so this is only my initial impression of the name.
You use “soy” as a negative appendix to something, soy is Asian in origin (I think?), which is why I perceived it initially as a racist slur.
nah, it’s more related to the soyjak meme, ie consumerist, yet smarter than thou npc
