Programmers, much like compilers, read things until they reach a point they disagree with and then stop there to write a comment.

- happytoexplain 4y agoPlease don't imply that I stopped reading because I merely disagreed with something the author said or did. As I implied in my post, I stopped because I found the reading itself to be difficult and unenjoyable. Framing that as "a point [I] disagree with" is uncharitable to me and makes it sound like I'm making an unreasonable or pompous criticism of the author's opinion on the topic about which he is writing.
