Speaking from my experience, the main cause is lacking of experience and/or clinging to unrealistic dogma. We tried to set up the supreme principle, ideal methodology and perfect paradigm once and for all so we can happily live with that forever.
We thought we could generalize everything and strictly categorize them into "right" and "wrong" without anything in between. We hoped that once it is done, it would guide us through. Being dogmatic is everything, pragmatism is just for the weak who doesn't know right and wrong.
As we were creating our realm of perfection, what must be done is to judge whether what should be allowed to enter and what should be kept out. Again, there is no compromise on that. Whatever allowed in must be perfect, and what is not allowed in is evil.
Sometimes, being smart is also a curse. You know what perfection looks like, but you often don't realize we don't actually need perfection. We need to compromise, and as the people who can easily see imperfection, we do need to compromise a lot.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
I was once like that.
