Zach Leatherman
thurti@zachleat When did this actually start, that developers here have become so passive aggressive and condescending towards the work of other developers. I thought it was just a twitter thing.
@thurti I think there is a lot to unpack here and I don’t go into making this joke without self awareness of what’s happening.
But I would ask: when did tooling tribalism become so that we can’t critique code? That a mere lighthearted humorous critique of code is a personal attack?
Finally the thing I always try to evaluate before making a joke like this: is it punching down? And no, I would very strongly argue that it is not.
Henry Bley-Vroman@thurti thanks for saying this. @zachleat given the last month's widely read anti-Tw articles I see only "this tool is bad". What's the critique? I see an inexpert CSS author, unnecessary height styles, and not using Prettier. But I'm confident the joke isn't "this person is passionate but a junior".
