in reply to On Debugging People

It occurs to me that the next time someone points out something I've done wrong, and suggests a better way to do it, I'm going to have to resist the urge to say "Thanks, applied."

    A good policy.

    I'd like to add that if someone points out something you've done wrong and you find that this makes you very angry, then you need to carefully examine what they are saying. Chances are, they have a point and it's something you are finding very difficult to accept. You block those things you can't accept with an anger response.

    The other possibility is that what they are saying is a moral outrage, and this makes you angry, but those situations are very rare, in my experience.
