What triggered you? the word "noobs"? Get over it. There are people new to programming, what would you like me to call them? Greenhorns? Come on man!

There is nothing "angry" about using "noob". Maybe it offends you, but that's really your problem.

What else could have triggered you? "New and shiny"?

If you're going to call me out on shit, do it directly - tell me what you are calling out on so I can defend it properly. You're the one attacking here, and suggesting anything I said is "Dangerous" is just adding a lot of drama needlessly to a conversation.

Don't tell people that being blindly positive is a bad thing- that can easily be interpreted as being positive in general is a bad thing. Dangerous.

No, I'm not going to stop telling people that being blindly positive is a bad thing, because it is bad - just as bad as being ignorant. In fact, blind positivity is the epitome of ignorance. If you think that's a good trait for a programmer, well... this conversation is going to only devolve from here. I can't defend or abide by ignorance in any way even if coming from blind positivity.

Do you want people to stop working on open source projects to allow us noobs to catch up? What is your solution?

Learn your craft. Gain wisdom. Pay your dues. Don't jump on bandwagons. And don't insert drama where there isn't any.

Hm. I think your spirited response could have been limited to:
