This is about the 2nd most ridiculous post I've seen on such subjects.
This fellow has hard facts to support a claim. You present nothing but
arrogance. Present some numbers to back up your claim that with
"applications" (whatever those are) the code is significantly better than
other products or at least comparable, and so the case is different from
what happens with "hello-worlds" (whatever those are), or just shut up
and go away.

How rude!
