from what I understand she complains about the rudeness of the comments. comments that she wouldnt have gotten if her work was perfect.
I would LOVE to have such comments from competent and knowledgeable people about my work. I don't care about them being rude if they are right. work is not like disneyland.
- mschuster91 11y ago<3 to you because an upvote alone is not enough.
- coldpie 11y agoSome people can put up with constantly being called an idiot/retard/moron/whatever. Others don't want to or can't. Should we exclude the latter?
- mschuster91 11y agoLinus only calls people idiots and morons when they submit code with issues, so yes, we should exclude those who fail to live up to coding standards.
- coldpie 11y agoYou must be a joy to work with.
- mschuster91 11y agoWe're not talking about a mobile app running in layers of sandboxes. We're talking about kernel space code, the most sensitive area in computing. And it's shipped to literally billions of devices, many of them not updated even once in their lifetime. If it takes a couple devs leaving in order to maintain security for the inarguably most shipped piece of software, be it. I know I'm by no means a perfect coder, so I leave my fingers off kernel code. With kernel code, I carry responsibility, and part of acting responsibly is leaving my hands off stuff I don't understand!
- drdeca 11y agoDo you mean those who fail to <perfectly live up to coding standards, every single time>? Or is there a tolerance level for imperfectly meeting standards, below which it is not necessary to exclude? I mean, you could, I suppose, require that submissions all include a coq proof of correctness (and of meeting standards), and then you wouldn't have to respond to submissions not meeting standards at all; any that didn't just wouldn't go through. (Angle brackets meant to reduce ambiguity)
- EmanueleAina 11y agoHave you ever seen a work that is perfect? Do you feel the Linux kernel is perfect by any metric?
- mschuster91 11y agoPerfect sure not - but I highly doubt Linux would be as widespread as it is if code quality hadn't been priority even above the "Never break userspace" doctrine.
- EmanueleAina 11y agoSo it's not "perfect", it's just "high quality". And what made you think that the code written by Sharp wasn't high quality?
