I'm suspicious of anyone who spends their time critiquing others' work so harshly instead of innovating on their own.

I'm suspicious of anyone who obviously doesn't think innovation is innovation without making sure your innovation actually works (with tests).

Since you and goldenthunder completely missed this, allow me to clarify that OP could have been critiquing the project's choice of variable names and I would have said the exact same thing.

My statement wasn't about tests in the slightest.

You clearly don't understand the importance of TDD like many others (count the downvotes).

If you cannot stay with the curve because of your lack of knowledge, maybe you should spend less time flaming on Hackernews and more time studying up, sir.

I'm not seeing how my statement has anything to do with TDD. OP was very harsh in his critique, whether it be valid or not (which I never said anything about), and that's all I was making a point about.

Going from there to my supposed 'lack of knowledge' is a poor representation of yourself, too.
