His comment was valuable and fostered discussion. He's allowed an opinion especially one that's valid. It was constructive and explained how he would want to see it structured. He did it the right way. Where as your comment is unconstructive. Doesn't foster discussion. If the only point you're trying to make is to ask someone to stay quiet why not leave it to the mods or even silently downvote and move on?

He completely dismissed the entirety of their architecture as too bloated without any sort of context on the decisions that brought it here. There was no constructive criticism, no “you should do this differently” it was “this is worryingly large and you should feel bad if this isn’t an educational project”. If this is “the right way” then I don’t want to be right, because it’s a shit way that lacks empathy or tact.

  > dismissed the entirety of their architecture No he didn't. He had a caveat. > no “you should do this differently” That's not the case..he clearly says this is how I would do this differently. None of this matters. Arguing about arguing is futile.

    “Unless this is an educational project” is not an appropriate caveat. Especially about a project that was clearly not submitted as an educational one.

Separately, an old tablet set up as a "Magic Mirror,” and was using a weather module that relied on the Dark Sky API, as well as my Home Assistant setup. So when I heard that it was shutting down, I thought, "I wonder if I could do this.” Plus, I love learning new things (http://alexanderrey.ca/ http://alexanderrey.ca/), and I had been looking for a project to learn Python on, so this seemed like the perfect opportunity! Spoiler alert, but it was way more difficult than I thought, but learned a lot throughout the process, and I think the end result turned out really well! Seems perfectly fine to assume that this might be purely an exercise in order to learn as much as possible, rather than to build something that is trying to be as cost-effective and performant as possible.
