Hardly. The attitude you're demonstrating is the real anathema. You're just confusing people recoiling from your abrasive disposition with disagreement over the importance of tests (as others have done in this thread). > Enterprise JS is 400 lines of code... 0 lines of tests. Kudos, NYT. See how your comment carries across a real difficulty working with other people? This would have said the same thing, albeit without the slam to the author: > This project has no tests. Maybe I'll fork it and add some, in order to make it more robust. Another example from your history: > adding position:relative without knowing what it does... great advice Someone made a good point here which is actually grounded in reality, and you responded with a smartass remark which might have discouraged him from contributing in the future. One of the guidelines for Hacker News is that you shouldn't write a comment that you wouldn't say to someone's face. If you go around quipping like that to peoples' faces, I pity your acquaintances. You could have worded it this way: > That isn't what position: relative is meant for. There is another way to accomplish that: <blah> Just be positive to your fellow human being. It's not fucking difficult. That's why you're getting downvoted.
