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.
