You’ve taken a comment that adds something to the conversation (a conclusion about build times that you agree with), grabbed a tangential aside about good libraries and spun off a flamey side-thread by going after internal library authors as being delusional, done that god awful cherry-pick “>” citation thing, made repeated appeals to authority about your extensive experience, cited zero examples of OSS libraries to make a substantial counter point (which can be done), ratcheted up the temperature first with NIH, second with disparaging remarks about new grads, and finally with a bizarre contention that I must be angry that I can’t get a job at a place I got a job. All the while I’ve made all my points under my own name, and you’re safe behind an alias.
Your profile lists you as a moderator. Why are you throwing fuel on this instead of steering it back to the technology as I’ve repeatedly tried to do by bringing up actual examples of actual code? In spite of a 12 year tenure as a site member I comment pretty rarely because there are only a few topics where my perspective is all that unique, I don’t care about karma points, and the odds that someone is going to pick a fight make it easier to just get back to work and not risk it 99/100 times. You’ve succeeded in sending me back to the orange bar for however long, so mission accomplished: someone is still wrong on the internet but you’ve driven them off their cookie.
