I think the author makes it pretty obvious that he's only speaking about "your writing systems sucks for me while doing my job". Sure, the title is hyperbolic - but with a title like "Your language sucks" nobody should expect it to be anything else. That's like saying the title "Dependency Injection will be the death of me" is flawed because it's highly unlikely the author will actually die because of it.
- sho_hn 12y agoSure, but I think it's fair to be just as unforgiving in a critique then. My concern here is that we hackers love it when (seemingly) low-hanging fruit are pointed out and react with "well this sucks - let's drop it" very easily, and if this happens to someone as a result of reading this blog, it's bad. That said, I don't think eye-for-an-eye discourse is nice, either, and would certainly prefer it if this was a more rigorously fact-checked article.
