>Not some junkies slapping half-baked libs together.
This is offensive. Whether the people who work hard to make and share (for free) half baked libraries are addicted to drugs is really not part of the main thrust of your argument. You could leave it out, save words, and not have distracting comments from people like me while still making your point.
- systemvoltage 6y agoAre you seriously taking this literally? I didn’t even think this deep when writing it. Honestly! Lighten up. No one in their right mind thinks about people building free libraries on GitHub as nothing but positive thing. Come on. I am offended that you’re offended by this. Usually, I would apologize for saying something offensive, but I guess someone will get offended on the internet. If I said “Wild Wild West” then may be some Texan would be offended by it. Intention matters. Smile more and be tolerant, no offense :-)
- fnord123 6y ago> No one in their right mind thinks about people building free libraries on GitHub as nothing but positive thing. If you feel love, share love. xx
- systemvoltage 6y agoAmen.

- devoutsalsa 6y agoIt’s 2021. The Earth is heating up, we have a cult member who believes in baby eating pedophiles in the USA government, and people are still dying from their inability to afford insulin. It’s not that name calling will be taken seriously by everyone, but thoughts like that are distractions we can no longer afford to think about. Put your energy towards ensuring there’s a future worth worrying about.
- morlockabove 6y agoIf they just don't eat, they won't need insulin anymore!
- coldtea 6y agoParents words were meant to convey a certain disgust/impact. Leaving them out would communicate the core idea, but not the emotional tone they wanted it to have. (And it's obviously not about literal junkies, it's meant as "random people who don't know what they're doing").
- dvfjsdhgfv 6y agoI honestly can't tell if it's sarcasm or not. If I was reading it on some comp.* newsgroup I'd say the former, but it's 2021 so I consider the possibility you might be serious - but I hope not.
- kazinator 6y agoI read that as programming language (re)design junkies, not pharmaceutical junkies.
- deaddodo 6y agoI'm fairly certain, given context, he didn't mean drug users. He was using it as definition two here: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/junkie https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/junkie
