The lines of code are not even your lines of code!

They are lines of code until you reveal them to the world. Then they are part of the world. When someone else improves them (or tries to improve them) you must rejoice that the ideas you have given the world have attracted enough attention to be criticized and improved!

Only by keeping the code private would the criticism be criticism against you. Once you distribute the code, the only truly negative thing someone can do, from your point of view, is to ignore the code.

That’s my point of view anyway. Elsewhere in the thread someone commented positively on your self awareness and in parting I must echo them.
