fefe23 said "hide behind snarky epiphets from other people" (my emphasis) suggesting that the criticism of dynamic programming was discounted because it was snarky.
- mcphage 9y agoThat's not what "hiding behind X" means. It means to use X to distract people from yourself / your own positions. So here hiding behind scary epithets would mean using snarky epithets to counter criticism of dynamic languages.
- tome 9y agoI know that's not what it means, but in the absence of knowledge regarding whether fefe23 is a native English speaker I think the interpretation I gave of his/her comment was a reasonable one.
