It shouldn't, but it amazes me that developers will do this to other developers. I was talking generally about JavaScript and another dev who likes to surf the web without JS enabled (more power to him) mentioned how in a given case there's no reason to use JS. I mentioned a side project that I felt kinda fit that use case (in a way). This is an entirely a casual project that has no intent to do much other than explore something myself and uses JavaScript, if folks like it, that's cool, it's free. I got litany of reasons that person would NEVER use my product that sounded a lot like an angry customer rant. Entirely free service, and I got a rant for it ;) |

I suspect your misunderstanding there is some misplaced assumption that "developers" are some sort of tribe who respect and look out for each other.
It's easy to exist in a small "developer tribe" bubble where that's true, but there's a universe full of "unpassionate devs" just scrabbling to get project managers or bosses off their backs, and who'll cut-n-paste from StackOverflow answers and harass open source maintainers just to get their next Jira ticket completed before whatever arbitrary time estimate/deadline has been imposed on them.
