I think we sometimes overlook the positive outcomes that arise from the effort to publicly ridicule silly ideas, like Javascript and Ruby.

@dibblego I've been thinking about this a lot, it seems negatively useful to ignore silly things. People complain about complaining, though!

@puffnfresh That's because they are unfamiliar with the idea of brutal critique and fail to realise that this is exactly the problem.

@dibblego @puffnfresh There are also ways of offering critique that give the recipient an excuse to ignore what is being said.
