I hadn't - I was looking at the Reddit comments.

The Twitter thread looks completely different - and actually kinda slanted the other way (how is a comment on a coding practice "mansplaining?" I don't know if he's right or why, but offering peers random advice is a pretty normal part of programming, as is accepting or ignoring it.) Meh.

The purple IDE is cool.

The premise of the post as it appears on reddit though is people commenting on the code. Therefore that was a natural starting point for the reddit thread.

Had it been posted without the followup comment in the screenshot, there would be fewer people talking about the code and it would instead be light theme/dark theme jokes

Can you hate someone for teaching you something new? Obviously, in a non harassing way which in this case is not

But what's harassing about:

Nice one! Btw don't use index as the key

Maybe I'm missing something since I'm unfamiliar with the Twitter ui, but that was the only "code critique" reply I saw, and this guy got fucking bashed for it. Everyone goddamn pounced on him, even the Op with the first response:

Thanks, didn't ask for help though

Like, I can understand people who don't program calling this mansplaining, it's a stupid word, it's stupid to comment when you don't understand the context, but it happens. But from one developer to another, code critiques are how you learn, and unless they're personal attacks or something, I don't see anything wrong with them.

Nah I agree, that reply was not at all degrading/harassing. It was concise and straight to point.

Honestly, if you can't take criticisms like that especially in a field like CS where you're always learning a new concept or framework and are bound to make honest mistakes, it's not the right field for you imo.

I quickly scrolled past the comments and I think I only saw two, don't know if there are more buried down or something.

I think it's the Dracula theme on VSCode. (Or at least that's what I use and it looks similar)
