Imagine being such a bugman that you actually think Instagram is relevant or interesting.
Here you are, making a post about Instagram as though it were relevant or interesting.
Didn't think I'd have to spell it out for you.

Comment on: And Just Like That, Your Code Became SJW-Proof
There is no system operated by humans that cannot be taken over by replacing all the human operators with ideologically controlled puppets.
The only viable alternative is an organization explicitly right wing.
I guess we'll wait for you to finish arguing with yourself. With that said...
They can endure millennia.
What happened to the last right wing structure that was supposed to last a thousand years?

Does he not have a point?
Using an entire line for a single character seems wasteful if it can be avoided. His argument is "It makes code more concise" which definitely has value. Your argument is:
Oh look, an asshole who relies on obfuscation and shitty coding style to keep his job.
Which has no value. It's just a combination of insult and insinuation.

I spent a few minutes looking at it because I'm in the middle of a lazy Sunday.
It's definitely supposed to be python; it's just so full of errors that it's hard to tell. There's a class definition on line 14 that's not even named. Colons are thrown around at random. There are a couple of semicolons in there for some reason. Lines 7&8 are almost the same as 21&22 but frustratingly they each have their own special fundamental flaws. I can guess at what they're trying to accomplish with
print(edit.suite); (card.suit)
but my favorite line in here (I'm really reaching and have no idea what they're trying for here) is
print(printscrn)
I can only hope this an exercise of "take the garbled mess with hints of a working piece of code and fix the errors". Unfortunately it's probably just the work of someone who sat through a lecture on the fundamentals and didn't get any individual attention or self-check by running the thing after adding each line.

"Publicly quit" is a link, but not to the post where the guy quit. Instead it's a link to some chump trying to talk down each of the guy's points.
What a great way to make sure your readers don't feel challenged AND don't have to engage their critical thinking capacities!
