Hah! You picked the two of ~~your~~ that list that I actually do care about.
I don't know what pointers are. I don't care about memory allocation. Recursion rarely comes up.
That's not the kind of codebase I work with. I guess I'm not a proper big-boy programmer 😢
Anyway, your snide remarks about my abilities aside, that doesn't address my point at all.
First of all, it's not my list. Check the usernames of the comments you're replying to.
Second, you didn't make any sort of distinction limiting which ones you were talking about before, which means that you expressed that none of them were relevant. You don't get to move the goalposts and then pretend it doesn't address your point because of that.
Third, that sloppiness and failure to pay attention is only reinforcing my initial impression.
Calling me out on a clarification when you're banging on with ad hominem rubbish?
Respond to the point or bugger off. I'm not here to impress you, you're not my dad.
A good engineer knows when the details matter and when it's just wasting everyone's time. Would you classify responding to someone being needlessly hostile as something other than a waste of time?
If anything you should be criticising me for choosing to spaff more time on this conversation.
You weren't "clarifying;" you were backtracking and lying about it. That's a detail that matters.
I did respond to the point, in my initial comment. Your lack of reading comprehension (and dishonesty!) is your own problem, not mine.
Your continuing inability to engage in an even remotely constructive way is really tragic.
Instead of seeing my response as "He takes my point and sees that his initial comment was too broad. We could have a conversation" it just ends up as an opportunity for you to make this community more hostile. That's so sad.
Hopefully you're just having a bad day.
Yeah, we could have had a nice conversation, if you had ended your initial reply to me a sentence earlier. But you didn't, did you? No, instead, you tried to turn your failure to say what you meant around on me as if it were my fault, in an attempt to save face at my expense. Did you really think you weren't going to get called out on it?
There is only one person "failing to engage in an even remotely constructive way," and that's you, not me.
You're in a foul mood today, aren't you? Okay, hope tomorrow is better. I'm not arguing with you about whatever this nonsense is.
