I guess I'm pretty bad.

Lots of folks, that I know aren't especially good (because I've looked at their work), take great joy in telling me how bad I am, which they seem to know, without looking at any of my work, so I guess I'm just terrible.

That's one reason I don't bother being competitive. "Good" is in the eye of the beholder.

If someone comments their code, that can be "good," for some, and "bad," for others.

If someone adds extensive, nested error handling, that's "good," for some, and "bad," for others.

And so on...

Usually, both sides have quite valid points.

I just do things the way that I do them. Seems to work.

WFM, YMMV.
