Im just taking a wild guess, but here's a summary of a few bad behaviors here that have kept me from posting projects im proud of before...
most of the time someone posts something here, you get:
- this is wrong, they forgot to pump the xyz modulator in line 18
- I dont see why they didnt do it exactly how id do it
- why do this? so and so already did it, and its in rust
- you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem. From Windows or Mac, this FTP account could be accessed through built-in software.
and my favorite:
- this reminds me of this awesome startup xyzmodupump.co, it doesn't really do anything similar to this, but the name is similar, oh and by the way im the CTO full remote bay area free lunabars and dog sitter.
My experience of my stuff (rarely!) getting posted here was not nearly as bad as you describe but yeah this certainly exist. My suggestion would be to learn to ignore/brush off these parts.
Well this would not do the shattering-ago amount of damage but after repeated exposure I would probably get burnt out and quit.
Here is an anecdotal analogy: Friends repeatedly call me Internet Explorer every time I share any Tech article that is > 2 weeks old. After a month I just stop reading tech news altogether.
Are they joking ? Yes. It is serious ? No, but it just kills all the fun.

Exactly. You can always ignore HN (or any other community discussing your creations) if you don't like what they have to say - much easier than making angry comments about them.
