Are the examples given by the author really that worthy of respect? If you write yet another unnecessary Foo to Javascript translator, or over-complicate your code to show off how well you know the dark corners of your chosen language (both examples given by Chris), should people really be impressed? And if people aren't, should they put on a fake smile and pretend to be?
- cryowaffle 13y agoHah, the satire (more likely irony) is so thick.
- chris_wot 13y agoYeah, I think the article was aimed at you and your kind.
- DanBC 13y ago> should people really be impressed? And if people aren't, should they put on a fake smile and pretend to be? Offering a critique doesn't have to be fake smiles, nor does it have to be slagging off. People can ignore posts. Or people can offer calm advice about why something is suboptimal.
- VMG 13y agoWhich was exactly what happened in the comments. I haven't read one impolite response.
- spicavigo 13y agoIf you are not impressed, ignore. If you smell something fishy about the developer, call it out (Giving benefit of doubt wherever possible. For eg, the developer could have started to code a week ago, or he wrote the translator in 1 hour flat. All admirable acievements). Just don't be evil.
