On learning, growth, and trust

[loxie]

This should relate to coding in wc3 too.

If we do not tolerate, support, and encourage the learning process required to become a skilled programmer, or maintain one's skill in programming, we are destroying our future as a community.

When you find code that is broken and badly written, you have found a problem that should be reported, analyzed, and corrected. You have also found a programmer who is about to have one of two very different types of experiences. Either they are about to learn how to become a better programmer, or they are about to be publicly shamed, humiliated, and treated as untrustworthy. Which branch they take is partly up to them, but it's also heavily influenced by how all of us react socially to the discovery of bad code.

One of those branches leads to more good, secure code being written in the future. The other does not.

Yeah, it was a long and painful struggle. I'd like to thank the academy.
