I am a french developer fulled by dark beer and ristretto coffee.
Everlearning coder, I’m currently CTO @Novaway, keeping the empowerment of the people I work with as a priority.
First of all, I think this is a job done best from someone outside of the established groups. Any one belonging to a group would too easily be dismissed by the other group.
I see 2 key actions than can have a positive impact :
mix group individuals in order to make people understand the view of others
try to discourage segmenting behavior, may it be just for fun.
If your already part of a group, the good news is you are aware of it, so you can try to identify in your own behavior how you act in a segmenting way, and adjust it, leading by the example.
There is no silver bullet, but trying to understand people's feeling is a good start.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Trick question.
