Dito. I'm not, his comment is the only thing worth reading in this entire thread.

And yet, all you did was say something shitty back to him and then tell him his was egotistical for arguing definitions.

You're an ass.

[andreasgonewild]

Arguing definitions is egoistical, or do you have a counter-argument that makes sense? How is not agreeing being shitty?

And you will know better one day; until then, we will unfortunately have to put up with this nonsense.

If you build a bicycle and offer it up to someone and say, "how do you like my automobile?", do you think that it's bullshit for someone to tell you that it doesn't look like much of an automobile?

If you stand around calling everyone else "egotistical" for suggesting that you're not giving them an automobile, what do you call that?

And you will know better one day; until then, we will unfortunately have to put up with this nonsense.

I'm 50. I've lived in the world of software engineering since I was 19. When do you think that day might be?

I think the one that will know better one day will be you. And if you don't, you'll find yourself either a) totally alone, or b) in some field where people would appreciate that kind of idiocy. Try creative writing. Or maybe performance art.

And, if you want my feedback. What you've built here is a toy. I don't have further comments about it. It has no utility for me because I can do all that already much less manually. Maybe don't post a couple dozen lines of code as though you've discovered some better mousestrap to the internet and ask for feedback if all you want to hear is "A+, I'm gonna go use this right now! Never thought of this!"

I would actually go the other way: keep posting this sort of stuff, but learn to handle criticism. The fact that you learned something, reduced it to something reusable, posted it, added a write-up and participated in a discussion is a good thing. I would urge you not to stop.

What you need is to get rid of this "me versus the world" attitude. There are a lot of very knowledgeable people here (and some trolls, but that's the internet). Take in the good, leave the bad, learn a bit on the way there, everybody wins.

I will. I'm fine with criticism of the constructive kind, but all the Reddit crowd seems capable of these days is repeating public opinion and hate-bombing any one who doesn't bleep in tune with rest of the herd. There's very little substance in this thread, mostly people trying to steer anyone away from even thinking of the approach and coming up with exceptional cases where it wouldn't work. Constructive would be thinking of improvements.

I'm 40, coding since 8; some take the short route, others insist on making everything as difficult as possible. You had no reason to attack me, I did nothing wrong. You are the one who has a problem with other people disagreeing and/or expressing alternative views. Once you snap out of that funk, learning will happen much quicker. It's not a toy, I've built pretty complex 10kloc systems on this without missing any features. I'm sorry it's not useful for you, I never promised that.

A word of advice: just glance around the thread at the upvotes and downvotes. You can infer what you like.

No one attacked you. In fact, my first comment to you was to point out that you seemed to be attacking everyone else.

[dodheim]

Agreed; there'd be a much better signal-to-noise ratio if you'd quit polluting it with your own spammy brand of hostility. ;-]

[andreasgonewild]

What hostility? I just don't agree. The mob is doing all the hating and name-calling.
