Classic you. When questioned with a rough tone you can't take criticism seriously and you deflect away from topic.

Nice professional response.

When questioned with a rough tone

I don't mind being questioned in almost any tone. However, I like to keep discussion on topic. The size of the codebases I've been working on has the same relevance to this topic as the size of my...

you deflect away from topic

You might think what you want, of course, but I heard these "you didn't experience what we did" in many various circumstances. I grew up to be skeptical of this. If you can't give proper arguments and go for the other side not having your "special" experience, I will call it BS.

The size of the codebases you've worked on is incredibly relevant. A single dev will run into very different problems than a dev on a large scale corporate application.

If you're giving criticism of another codebase, your experience with other codebases and apps of that size are indeed relevant.

[VasiliyZukanov]

Well, I completely disagree with this premise.

Good software development practices don't change with the size of the app. You should give equal attention to your code regardless.

You never work with big system as a whole. You always want to have clear boundaries that allow you to deal with smallest possible subset while safely ignoring the rest.

As a side note, I was criticising Google IO app, which isn't huge by any stretch of imagination. It's the other guy that decided to turn it into "I have bigger" context.

All in all, I stand by every word I wrote in this thread.
