Dealing With (Not Dealing With) the Open Source Assholes (2011)
- dbcooper 14y agoIsn't one post on this enough?
- ChuckMcM 14y agoI presume you noticed but this one was from 2011.
- tedunangst 14y agoPerhaps what's meant is one submission is enough. For some reason, it's not enough for the first post, the assorted apologies, and then inevitable commentary to be on the front page. Somebody needs to submit all the greatest hits from each party's back catalog.

- greghinch 14y agoThe JS community in particular seems to be pretty bad to deal, my guess is because of its relative youth (as in the age of your average JS dev). Also if you've worked for any amount of time in JS, and inherited another person's code, more likely than not you've torn your hair out trying to untangle someone else's spaghetti. This leads to disproportionately negative responses to any code that looks "less than good". Not excuses, just hopefully helpful insight
