It has been said posting code on HN a literal "Trial By Fire",
But reading the comments in this thread this has gone overboard....to the point I, as a casual observer, had to say something.
I agree, "clearly written by someone who doesn't know the language well", _IS_ a direct attack on the developer and not the code. And I couldn't comprehend the mental gymnastics it would take to explain otherwise.
There is a major difference between:
"Why did you implement your own Queue here?"
and
"This guy doesn't understand C++. Don't use his code."
Don't let them win by giving into replying with a "Redditor" form of rebuttal filled with snark.
