There's always at least one person who responds in this kind of aggressive tone. I don't think the question is about good web design, but about good data structure, doing things in a maintainable way.
It's like "Why don't you comment your code?" "Perhaps the value of my code is unrelated to whatever [blah blah] nonsense constitutes good programming practice? My code is functional. You don't maintain it. Who care's if there are comments?"
- Ziomislaw 14y agoHow do you know it is unmaintainable? Have you seen the code?
- xauronx 14y agoI wasn't specifically saying the code itself wasn't maintainable. However, I wrote a scraper for HN and the structure isn't really there. Granted, no one designs a website to be scraped. It's the kind of "well, let's use a table for everything" that people use for their first web application because they don't know how to use CSS. I'm not one to complain about it, I like HN and yes it does the job, but to get aggressive with someone when they point out a problem... Not really productive.
