Github is not a beauty pageant. We do not write code for the people to evaluate them aesthetically. What we do, however, is to learn and teach. What we did to solve that problem and if there are others, they may use our solution as a step to solving their similar problems or better, they may offer a better solution.
What did these tweets add to the so-called "eye bleeding" code? What did they teach? What did we learn from all of these?
If I was in Heather's shoes, I would feel anxious whenever I sync to my public repo in Github. Or anxious whenever I code, worry whether this code is "beautiful" enough. And, folks, no one has any right to make a person feel like this.
I don't mean "no there shouldn't be any criticism on github" on the contrary, if you have something constructive to say, go ahead and shoot. I would not make a repo public if I don't want to see my mistakes, improvement starts with realizing what a mistake is.
