I think maybe I know one of possible causes. When you have to struggle with problems too much (solve driver problems that happen due to buggy hardware, fix software crashes that happen due to original author doing some insane pointer juggling, and so on), you may as well end up genuinely hating when others do things in a way that doesn't seem proper to you. Particularly, I'm guilty of such reactions, although I try to refrain from commenting unless I'm on one of "feel free to blow off some steam" discussion sites (which HN isn't).
