I’m certainly “calibrated to feedback,” but not feedback presented in that manner. I’ve stumbled on some software developer’s mailing lists in the past and have seen how ugly it can get.
I’ve sat through countless hardware design reviews throughout my career as a design engineer and received plenty of negative feedback, but it was always handled professionally and typically accompanied by alternate ideas. Granted, the majority of that time (16years) was spent at one company among a tight nit group of 8 hardware engineers. We thought of each other as family and kept things civil. Maybe I lead a sheltered life and was not as desensitized as my counterparts in the industry.
And of course within this thread I received a good deal of feedback resulting in changes to the code, support documents & schematic.
Now, can we move on?
