It would be nice all around if people remembered that others are generally a mix of good and bad qualities, have good and bad days, and sometimes have regrets as soon as their finger has fully pressed the Enter key.

These kinds of things shouldn't have the ability to wreck someone's career or cause them grief in other ways.

Perhaps they realized that people would be shitting on them a decade later on one of the most popular platforms for programmers?
