Hello,

I am thinking about teaching my students JavaScript first so that they can start creating websites and make their career, what are your thoughts?

Calling me out on a clarification when you're banging on with ad hominem rubbish?

Respond to the point or bugger off. I'm not here to impress you, you're not my dad.

Third, that sloppiness and failure to pay attention is only reinforcing my initial impression.

A good engineer knows when the details matter and when it's just wasting everyone's time. Would you classify responding to someone being needlessly hostile as something other than a waste of time?

If anything you should be criticising me for choosing to spaff more time on this conversation.

    You weren't "clarifying;" you were backtracking and lying about it. That's a detail that matters.

    I did respond to the point, in my initial comment. Your lack of reading comprehension (and dishonesty!) is your own problem, not mine.

    Your continuing inability to engage in an even remotely constructive way is really tragic.

    Instead of seeing my response as "He takes my point and sees that his initial comment was too broad. We could have a conversation" it just ends up as an opportunity for you to make this community more hostile. That's so sad.

    Hopefully you're just having a bad day.

    Yeah, we could have had a nice conversation, if you had ended your initial reply to me a sentence earlier. But you didn't, did you? No, instead, you tried to turn your failure to say what you meant around on me as if it were my fault, in an attempt to save face at my expense. Did you really think you weren't going to get called out on it?

    There is only one person "failing to engage in an even remotely constructive way," and that's you, not me.
