Anti-considered-harmful consided harmful.
What's wrong with the usage? It is short and concise.
- klodolph 4y ago"Short and concise" isn't much praise. If I wanted something short and concise, I could say "is bad", which is probably both more concise and more honest. "Mtime comparison is bad" is more clear and more concise. "Considered harmful" is misleading because the passive voice suggests some kind of general consensus which usually doesn't exist.
- atoav 4y agoWho considers it harmful? Some jerk who uses the royal "we" on themselves? The issue with the phrase is, that it is hopelessly overused also for things that are purely subjective or way to general.
- IshKebab 4y agoIt's presumptuous and hackneyed.
- st_goliath 4y ago> What's wrong with the usage? It's such a ridiculously inflationary overused meme to the point that it's getting annoying.
