Two projects that are enormous successes, both with more contributors than any code that you've ever touched, I would wager. "Messes". Indeed.

To your questions, while you're rhetorically asking, trying to wink to the crowd in the implication that the answers are telling, yes, actually I have. To very good effect. I'm speaking from actual experience here, not just the hilarious patter of the bottomfeeder that is far too typical on HN.

No.

Yes, messes. Why do you think Chrome is eating Firefox's lunch ? Google has both a better-implemented product and sufficient marketing clout to push it.

Have you worked on Linux kernel code?

What have you worked on?

I've worked on FreeBSD, Mac OS X, and an assortment of smaller widely used software projects, including user-facing applications.

Humorous given that both webkit and from that Chromium are largely comment free. What nonsense are you arguing again?

"Worked on" in HN parlance means "I did a coop term and wrote some test cases for some irrelevant little utility". Given your comical claims about Linux and Firefox re: Chrome, I have enough information about your skills.

Seriously?

http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/ipc/ipc_chan...

  // If the channel has already been created, then we need to send this
  // message so that the filter gets access to the Channel.

And so on.

Please go back to Reddit.

An enormously complex rendering and JavaScript engine. Some laughably irrelevant, trivial comments. Quite a solid proof you have there.

Those comments are trivial and irrelevant?

You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. I hope I never get stuck cleaning up your messes, but chances are that someone as intellectually lazy as you -- if not you -- will leave me an uncommented code base to maintain.

The fact that you actively advocate intellectual laziness is distressing.

[huggyface]

Intellectually lazy? That's a mighty big term for someone like you.

Further it's utterly astonishing that you would equate writing clear and non-ambiguous code rather than nebulous code of uncertain purpose -- like the example Chromium code you linked -- is "intellectual laziness". That you hold good coding as deficient compared to lazy commenting is hardly surprising given your comments.
