 		 #174316 - Missing the point (ed)
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Erik Malund said:
Code examples that don't build
nothing necessarily wrong with that. I may give you a quickly written 'example' as a guide

There's a big difference between you just giving a quick example, and a company providing examples that are supposed to demonstrate the capabilities of their product and enable the (potential) customer to get started quickly on using them.

Poor coding standards
Is that 'poor' or "not to your liking"

Far too often, it's the former - particularly with regard to commenting.

Edit:

"Poor coding standards" in the sense of terse and/or sparse comments, using any kind of "clever tricks" in the source code, etc.
