> very off putting and unconstructive

One of those is irrelevant and the other one is false.

There's a lengthy, clear description of a problem, with a use case, leading up to a feature request...how is all of that "unconstructive"?

In fact, what's definitively unconstructive is the way the feature request is closed: dismissing the use case as invalid, despite the fact there's a description of the rationale behind it in the comments.

To clarify, the aggressive tone is non-constructive, as in it detracts from the article. You're right he makes a constructive point but I bet a bunch of people don't bother reading that far.

So what if the tone is aggressive? It's a venting piece. It says so in the second paragraph. Who cares if people bother reading it? Where it mattered - the actual github request - the tone of the discussion is right on point.

People who ignore the point to come here and complain about the tone, also further detract from the point.

FWIW, I find it extra hilarious that, in the context of employment search, I would form an opinion based on how - or what - a person _vents_.

How people vent is a very important consideration, when they're likely to vent at you at some point.
