the hell are you talking about? every person that created something worthwile in this world has been ridiculed. for good reason. i hate the fact that people here spout that uber positivity crap. you know what, you mess up -> you get ridiculed, what do you do? you make something better. The world is not this pretty flower place where everyone can be happy and strive at the same time. there is no rich without poor, and there is no great without bad. please everyone be happy is a stupid argument to make. it actually makes people NOT improve. it has nothing to do with elitism developer community. it's the same everywhere. you don't get patted on the back for doing something mediocore at best, well that is, unless you're an mba.

I fail to see what is being wrong with being positive and happy. We should strive to make the whole world as universally happy as possible. We can improve others with constructive criticism.

  Clearly you can take it too far. If somebody does something wrong, are you allowed to tell them? Even though it is going to be negative? Do you never correct your children? Do you keep people on who need to be fired?

    There's a rather large difference in saying "what you've done is not only useless, it's so stupid it's making physically ill" and providing constructive criticism It's the shit sandwich approach, say something good, say something critical, say something good. Tearing someone down, just because you can is not productive. I wonder if these same tweeters would have said the same thing to this persons face, and then turned their backs and walked away.

So explain to me how she messed up. Because I don't see any messing up on her part. I see a number of assholes (and some generally good folks who did mess up) unable to get out of their own headspace and into someone else, but that's about it. And there is a large gulf between "patting on the back" and being an asshole.
