psoting while drunk

BONGHITZ posted:

I [28/m] have been a programmer for 12 years. I am self taught, but I make a decent living running my own programming business (related to WordPress).
My GF [30/f] is about to start her own business in massage therapy and needs to setup a WordPress website, make a nice layout and do basic SEO. Instead of wanting to talk to me and let me teach her how to do stuff, she is wanting to take a free online class and learn herself.
I asked her about it and she said she feels like the professor is more trained, regarding the subject, then me.
Do I know everything regarding the subject? Definitely not. But we are talking about really basic knowledge here - that I am definitely capable of teaching; and have taught to others before. It hurts my feelings that she views me as incompetent regarding one of the few subjects that I actually know a ton about.
I am getting the feeling from her that just because I don't have a formal education on the subject that I am a poor source of knowledge.
I am not trying to control her and make her only learn from me, that would be wrong. I am just hurt that she seems to view my knowledge as worthless. I don't understand why she can't let me teach her and also take the online class at the same time.
How do I / we move forward?
tl;dr: GF views my knowledge regarding computer science as worthless; won't let me teach her anything.

kill her then urself

that's definitely Evil Megacorp territory bc they're just doing that so when you do something Unethical they can say they trained you otherwise and thus they're not liable for your Fuckery

You watched it, you can't unwatch it.
 Is lying unethical? I guess saying someone's data is "in the cloud" when it's really just in a computer somewhere is a lie.

The cloud is a nebulous concept.
