Interesting. Are the unhelpful comments coming from academics or random peanut gallery folks?
- CJefferson 5y agopeanut gallery are likely to give stupid feedback. Academics are likely to ask for help using my code -- which is nice but doesn't (usually) contribute anything useful to me, and takes up time I could be spending on other things.
- UncleMeat 5y agoPeanut gallery, in my experience. The number of people who I've never met before who decide to complain about hardcoded file paths or run a linter and tell me my paper must therefore be garbage is frustratingly high. This seems to depend on a paper getting a modest amount of media traction. That seems to set off the group of people who want to complain about code online.
