I wonder if there’s something about coding that destroys certain beings?

@Ron it is very sad indeed ... but you know telling people not to do something is not a good way to get them not to do something ?

@JohnPhilpin I didn't really have an expectation that I'd succeed in getting anyone to not do something. It was more like I felt compelled to post what I wrote. From very early on in that really long article, I knew he had a brain problem. That loosely connected the whole thing to the experience I had with my seizure. I wish I had turned away early on, instead of reading to the bitter end. Don't worry, you did nothing wrong!
