99% percent of tech arguments: your accepted tradeoffs don’t match my accepted tradeoffs 😅
people care about different things, maybe just got to accept that and move on. No point in arguing.

Yeah, thats what social media is for.
Not every perspective is equally solid though. Sometimes the tradeoffs undermine the stated goal, and this is my nerd catnip.
Yeah. I worked with an engineer with the polar opposite temperament as me. Opinionated and pretty fairly aggressive. Picking your battles is a top skill in engineering for sure.
I actually think there is a point to arguing. information exchange is invaluable, even if people don't ever come to admit it.
What I think is a problem is sometimes is that people assume that because they think they are right that others will change their minds if they articulate and assert it well enough, and then get mad because others seem unconvinced
In that case, as you said, might be better to just move on...
When truth becomes only subjective, the forms and methods by which we searched for it are abandoned.
Formal (and informal) civil debate is a lost skill to modern culture.
It has been replaced by dogmatic rhetorical devices used to crush opposition and establish moral superiority.
Actually, it's 98% of arguments 🤪
This is the truest insight I have ever seen about the tech world.
I like tech arguments though because there's almost always more information, different ways of accomplishing similar tasks, and the ability to learn something new and exciting.
That said:
AMD is better.
Nvidia is better.
Especially no point in arguing when the other hasn't considered tradeoffs altogether.
