We do not break userspace (2012)

At first I thought "I am glad he is back to his old outspoken self", then I saw it is from 2012. (Don't actually now what he is like these days, just remember he did publicly repent some time ago).

I may be an average corporate backend dev, but if anyone I work with would react in this way after any kind of mistake I did, I would report the situation / leave immediately.

Honest feedback is surely key to keep quality, innovation, and skills high - the thread has indeed a few lines of honest feedback (don't break user-space, wrong error) and the rest are just insults. I am pretty sure it goes against the Code of Conduct [1]

EDIT: Just saw 2012, I guess CoC was not in place back then
