The point the parent commenter is trying to make is that building a general purpose C debugger is not some kind of trivial exercise that can be shipped in 6 months, and claiming to have done so is disingenuous and pompous.

The parent commenter doesn't need to piss on a 17 year old for sharing their work and progress. You could also take a moment to step back and reflect on this.

Yes

Nobody has claimed to do so in this situation. You are inventing conflict. Also I don't think bregma intended to be this targeting or accusatory, why are you speaking for them?
