One day I had an epiphany: Microservices (or SOA if you will) are just Unix-mindset applied to web applications. Do one thing and do it well, then use all these stand-alone complexes to get an actual result you want.

You are smart enough but you have different priorities. This isn't magic but it does require time and time is usually spent on things people like. Therefore you just don't _like it_ enough.
It's not bad but it shows that you didn't go through Operating Systems 101 class. You may never need to use that knowledge but having T shaped skills is always a plus but not necessary a minus. ;)
WRT original comment, HN spits out dupes. I deleted one of them.
I used troll bait with this statement to actually show, in action, double standards on HN.
The OP made a generalisation for whole sex (men, masked as industry). I did the same but I got scrutiny where OP got praise. Get it?
Here's the kicker: I don't believe in both of these generalisations because me beliefs are formed on facts and data – both me and OP provided no such thing. We both just yelled statements.
I've met smart women in the tech industry. None of them would make a post like this (i.e. without any essence, just spitting out poison).
I've also met smart men. None of them would behave like men described by the OP.
On the other hand, my comment that you actually replied to is based on one of cognitive biases humans have.

It's dopamine. I see it as malware that infected my brainOS and it's more of a stuxnet rather than your typical lame click-n-infect-me.
As for diets, I prefer to set lifestyle goals. For example it doesn't matter on which particular diet I'm on at the moment (I cycle through couple of them every 8-12-16 weeks), what does matter is that I very rarely eat processed food or sugary snacks (once a month at best) and when I do it's _always_ after hard training session and it still _fits my macros_.
