Discussion on: Thank You For Your (Worthless) Comment!

I've probably done all of these myself at some point. This kind of post is always a good reminder to me that there are all kinds of devs out there and to be aware of that fact when approaching others.

There is another type of comment that might arguably be called worthless: Genuine appreciation...the person that drops a thank you note but offers little beyond that.

Thank you for taking the time to write this article.

(See what I did there?)

But sometimes we just need to have a little bit of positive feedback to keep us going. You never know when a simple Thank You will make someone's day better! Especially if they had a rough day.

THIS, right here, is exactly what I'm talking about. As much as these people annoy me, if I'm being really honest with myself, have I been any of these guys before?? Of course!!! I can't erase the past. But I can make every sincere effort to avoid repeating it.
