Why are we angry?
On Sunday evening, on the expanses of one Russian social network, I saw a link to an article - What I learned from writing six functions that all did the same thing ( What I learned from writing six functions that did the same thing ).
Jackson Bates, a resident of Australia, tells how he wrote six versions of a function that receives the number N and returns the sum of all numbers less than N and multiples of 3 or 5.
Agree - the task is very simple.
After reading, I had only one thought. Why immediately it is impossible to write in a normal way, and not make a fuss of a few really redundant and from that slow implementations of a function.
Then I read the comments. Here is some of them:
After reading a few comments, I had the main question - Why are we so angry?
Indeed, on Habré and not only for such an article they would not just throw something bad, but would forever discourage a person from doing programming. And English-speaking commentators were quite loyal to the author and even left approving comments.
Why do many Russian-speaking specialists in the field of CS always have to prove to others that the environment is complete shit and do not understand anything in their field?
Why do our people assert themselves by humiliating others? Why aren't English speakers like that?

- Nice!
- When I finished reading it, I was like “wooow”!
- So awesome!
- Great write-up!
- Great story
- Thank you so much for writing this.
