Honestly the best way to go about this, in my mind, is to make criticism ok in our industry. I've been trying my hardest to get someone I know to comment on my implementation of a CS280 homework I've been working on. I want to get to the point where I can properly write this code so it is readable to everyone. It seems like every time I ask someone to do this I'm told "Why would you want me to tell you how to code"

That's insane! I think that a goal of any programming course around the world should instill the idea that getting your peers to modify and read your code is a must in our industry. People need to be able to com along, see what you've done, and understand it.

If anyone want's to comment on my code that I'm talking about in this example it can be found here:

Assignment: https://web.njit.edu/~gwryan/CS280/CS280-Program-1-Fall-2016...

I've attempted to live up to what I think is "good code" but no one want's to tell me if I'm right or wrong or even discuss this for fear of hurting my feelings I presume. I always get "run valgrind or a linter on it" and I've done that and come up with no ways for improvement. Everything is all opinion and no fact in this business of code cleanliness although this should be a cornerstone topic for the software development industry.

Have you tried codereview.stackexchange.com? I find it can be a nice way to learn what others prefer and get tips for improving clarity especially in languages that I'm new to.

That's a hard thing to get. A lot of people will play shitty status games and make feedback to try to prove they're more clever than you. And since people do that, genuine feedback can often get interpreted that way.

That's a good point. There's bad code. And then there's that's not how I would do it code. Too often, in public the latter gets treated like the former. When you're still open to learning this is confusing. That is, do I suck? Or is that feedback coming from an asshole?
