@hughsie@mastodon.social because I think the code is cursed. doesn't mean I hate the person who wrote it, I wrote more than my own fair share of cursed code

@whitequark@social.treehouse.systems @hughsie@mastodon.social sometimes a shotgun parser is the least worst option, typically by being the only option

@whitequark@social.treehouse.systems I think calling it cursed is certainly negative, and I wouldn't want that feedback on any of the code I've written -- usually done with constraints and requirements that might not be immediately obvious. Maybe stick to pulling people up, rather than pushing them down.
