I always find it interesting how hostile some (many?) peoples take on source code can be. Rather than give benefit of doubt, they attack. But even if it is some stupid code, some late-night, tired-brain, foggy-flu-delirium .. so what?
I get it, don't run a project if you see some bad code and question the quality of the project. Quality that very well could, and likely will, impact you. From bugs to performance. Don't run it, of course. But to attack it, seemingly with such personal zeal.. can people not improve?
I dunno, i guess i just don't feel the software we write on average is actually good. We make compromises and mistakes constantly. Our house is the purist of glass and many of us are just chucking stones like there's no tomorrow.
Lets take a step back. Breathe. Point out flaws by all means, but maybe reduce the often apparent revelry in someone else's mistake.
... sorry for the high horse rant. I'm nursing coffee and i've just seen it a lot with Lemmy/Kbin recently. Also this isn't pointed at anyone here directly.. just a pattern i feel i frequently see.
