- zarkov99 6y agoThat excuse just does not work. Who are these fragile people who would be destroyed by Bob Martin's thoughts on programming? And why are they more important than all the other people who would want to listen to a guy that has been successfully writing software longer than almost anyone still working?

- kova12 6y agoHow are they unsubstantive if article is no longer visible and title says "flagged" ?
- spirobel 6y agoCould you please stop posting unsubstantive and/or flamebait comments to HN? This is unfortunately way too much of your comment feed. The idea here is: if you have a substantive point to make, make it thoughtfully; if you don't, please don't comment until you do. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- tflinton 6y agoSomething else to consider though, the amount of contempt for ones views that may be unpopular, for me is contrary to a diverse community, in fact disinviting people is exactly the opposite of being inclusive. I’m unsure how you can have a diverse community without having people who aren’t always inclusive, by trying to weed them out you inherently become what you lament. No?
