Somewhat related, but Warc somewhat recently wrote a few rude comments when undoing some of my broken code:

I know its not really all that bad, snarky comments are more or less a staple of gooncode, and I'm like 80% sure it wasn't directed at me personally. Like, I'm okay with being told the stuff I did isn't good, it's all helpful feedback from people I respect, and I'm very thankful for just how patient and eager to teach byondcode the coders have been!
But, it still hurt when I read it. Being impersonally told that your code is a nonsense factory by someone whose an authority on coding, and who you also don't know well enough to figure if that's a joke or not (come to think of it, its obviously a joke, but still), it kinda made me feel like I'm just bad at this.
I dunno, I'm probably wrong here thinking this, I was having a pretty fucked up week when this happened, and I doubt I'd be all that shaken up if, like, zewaka pinged me saying that my code is fucking awful and then reverted my gunbuddy PR. Probably something to do with how I only found out about this after digging through the commit history to see if anything else of mine (other than the dumpster fire of my eat-actionbar PR that I'm actually happy got reverted because I just didnt have the time to fix it, sorry again about that) got changed, no pings about it or anything (which I guess is pretty reasonable, since I never really sign my code, and I don't blame anyone who doesn't want to do gooncode detective shit just to tell someone they changed a thing you did).
