And I'd like to personally thank whichever HN readers submitted and upvoted this hate-filled piece of trollwork. Now I feel miserable and sad to be here, and my Sunday has just started. Troll mission accomplished!
Can we cut out the ad hominems for a moment? This is not about being a sissy; not about getting your feelings hurt.
These kinds of diatribes get tiresome real fast. The information density is inversely proportional to the amount of foul-mouthing going on. It makes me not want to read it, just like I don't like sieving through toxic mud to find some specks of gold. It's unnecessary and doesn't add anything. It merely detracts from what was achieved and makes it less awesome.
First you had some gold, now you've covered it in toxic mud before giving it to me. And don't give me "be grateful anyway, otherwise you would have had nothing". You don't cover what you give to beggars or your favorite charity in toxic mud either. It's extremely uncivilized and everything will say you're an asshole if you do. This is no different.
Thanks Ted, love the code. Too bad about the toxic waste you've covered it in.
