I still to see something that is not "slammed" here on HN.

I read this article the other day that people with "technical background"[1] have this "instinct" to quickly look for "wrongs/fails" to avoid failures, issue here is, we express our selves terribly and most of the time it will go blunt on comments. This lead a whole discussion on the topic, some people it was the right thing to do, and others thought that we should be more human/kind to each others.

The article above was actually about Pull-Request/Code-reviews, and how some people will mostly scrutinise others people work to feel like a hero.

[1] I believe most of us here have a "technical background", who else uses a "ugly forum"
