And how does that impact the QUALITY of his/her code?

What you are doing there, dear Randi, is by definition "harassment".

Basically, they have a mockup and a campaign which started few hours before Airdog's.

How about instead of "your code sucks, but you shouldn't care", you had used "your code sucks, improve it a bit and commit in a better one".

Also, writing readable and understandable code is not a premature optimization.Quite the opposite. What you are "selling" is to write quite and dirty site and then just patch them up. It is a road to unmanaged and intentional technical debt.

I suspect that this might give some interesting results.

Hehe, that's might be related to why I wrote one of the things and not the only thing ;-)

Did you read the article ?

> But on the fringes, there are a lot of people who are writing articles, tutorials, and posts designed to help beginners learn the language (and usually how to program). The problem with this is that the majority of those authors frankly don't have a clue what they are talking about.

It's the most ubiquitous language, which leads to being the easiest to start with. Thing is, if people learn it wrong they're going to churn out crap. That's a vicious cycle.
