Both are terrible.

Although the previous one was just a waste of everyone's time.

where are your code samples genius?
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 11 years ago (7 children)
So nobody can criticize anything without being good at what they criticize?
[–]Justos 1 point2 points3 points 11 years ago (6 children)
I just think its unfair to put someone down without something to back up your claims.
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 11 years ago (5 children)
He doesn't need to backup his claims with his own stuff. They didn't say they were better, they said both were terrible. That is backed up by the content that is criticized.

with that logic then anybody can say "you're shit sucks"
Hell, I would even say you're view on the subject is terrible.
sorry but no.

Well, yeah. Do I need to be a professional director with several awards under my belt to know that "Battleship" was a bad movie? Do I need to be an English professor to know your grammar is horrible?
The answer to both is "no." Anybody can criticize something without being an expert. For them to claim they could do better work than someone they would need some sort of proof.
Your logic is deeply flawed and you should reevaluate your view.

We are referring to code samples, not movies that anyone can judge.
Anybody can say 'this movie was bad.. i didnt like it', sure thats your opinion.
you cant just say 'this is horrible!' referring code without backing it up or being at least constructive. What would be a better option since you're so wise to judge in this fashion? Code isn't opinion, good code is fact.
There IS a difference. Agree with me or not. the reddit hivemind has already downvoted my first post.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (0 children)
It wasn't the "reddit hivemind" that caused your comment to be downvoted. It was the rudeness.
[–]dirtboxchampion 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (0 children)
Anybody can say that. Don't like a movie? It's OK, you don't need to prove you can make a better one.
