>I assume the vitriolic tone is directed elsewhere
I'm always really shocked on hn when people getting called out for arrogance respond with accusations (of vitriol). What day job do you have where you can make proclamations like "It quickly seems that the low level C/Cpp is becoming obsolete" while simultaneously admitting being an amateur and not get checked. Must be very different from my day job where being precise and accurate and conservative is paramount. Moreover what kind of habit of thought are you in that being called out for that is read as vitriol?
