then you probably dont know that i'm actually more supportive of charlie than most and are reading negative intent from a perfectly neutral/innocent question that is perhaps badly phrased :)
i mean i kinda like that HN de-emphasizes usernames, conversation should stand on its own if its to be judged by own merit. but i do have 14k karma haha
No it was not. The question was directed at the commenter about assessing skill, never made any statement disparaging said skill.
Also you seem to be unaware of the relationship of this commenter - you may want to examine their Twitter from before this story was submitted here. Or go on and prove yourself a prat, I won’t stop you.
You're out of line, no need to name-call. I may not want to examine the website and twitter feeds of every commenter on here. Perhaps it wasn't rude, but given how pedantic many people here are, I took the original comment to be a criticism of praising the coder, not a genuine question of evaluating code quality.
> I may not want to examine the website and twitter feeds of every commenter on here.
While that sounds fair enough, the commenter had already noted their relationship within the original thread here by the time you decided to make that completely dismissive reply.
If you’re going to just tritely counter a statement it seems rather foolish not to do a bear minimum of observation.
