It is an honest apology. I didn't realize how bad it was until I was called out. It isn't "oh, I got caught," it is "oh, shit, that was a really bad thing to do." It was an unthinking mistake on my part. I'm human and make mistakes.

So why did you initially think this project justified your original tweet? I think that would really help other people understand where you're coming from. Otherwise it looks like you thought it would be cool to say someone's code is awful without even looking at it. An apology is nice but why don't you tell us what kind of thought process led to what you did wrong?
Thanks for handling a shitty thing to have done with some grace, Corey. I can't accept your apology on Heather's behalf, but I do hear your contrition. For my part, it's genuinely appreciated.
