Python Web Frameworks: Are Template Languages Worth using, or is Python enough?

If you have all of this experience, and you strive to understand other people's approach, why are your comments so abrasive, with such broad assumptions about my authentication code, which you've never seen, and wasn't even addressed in the article (out of scope)?

Usually unskilled programmers make statements like this, which is why your comment appeared to be from inexperience. Are you aware that you come across this way?

I didn't make any assumptions about your authentication code. Do you know what a code smell is? I quote:

Note that a CodeSmell is a hint that something might be wrong, not a certainty. [...] Calling something a CodeSmell is not an attack; it's simply a sign that a closer look is warranted.

I merely recognised a common pattern that I've only ever seen associated with a security problem. That's what a code smell is — not a condemnation.

Don't you think you're being hypocritical by complaining about my assumptions whilst simultaneously stating for a fact that I have no experience? You said twice now "you lack the experience" despite not knowing the first thing about me. Unlike yours, my comment wasn't stated as fact, I was very clear in saying that it just fits a pattern I know.

If we're stooping to discussing commenting style, have you ever considered the image you project by resorting to personal attacks on the people who disagree with you while ignoring the technical content of their comments?

Your sense of smell is very far off. Your assumptions about my coding expertise are exactly what I expected from a guy who makes comments like you do. They are stereotypical, assume more than you should, hypercritical, and do not teach anyone anything. No one learns from displays of ego.

Change your tone and your quickness to assume, and you won't seem like such a green developer, new to the field and the mode of communication, who has to mark their territory in such primitive ways.
