From the original post: If you’re an experienced programmer and you’re tempted to code-shame someone, try thinking back to your own million lines of bad code. Imagine someone had mocked you then... Would you have continued asking for help? Yes. Yes I will criticize other peoples mistakes the way that I've been criticized for my mistakes. Because if making a mistake has no negative consequence then you (and I) will continue to make that mistake. Is it worth being ignorant of our shortcomings just to save ourselves from hurt feelings?
