Rarely, do good critics make better artist.

Except I've already proven three times in my history (twice as main author and the last and most successful as the ONLY* author), that I am also builder of popular software.

I fell off the cliff in the mid-00s due to mostly what I can summarize as "Philippines" and family background. The details are blinding (see light & dark only) an eye, lost marriage, mid-life crisis, severe STD infection in last week of May 2006 (leading to M.S. by now) and murder of my only non-step sister in last week May 2006, etc..

I really hate this being incited to talk about myself. I know people are going to use this against me. Besides I am interested in creating new things, not the past.

P.S. Armstrong's 8.6 cycle (1000 x Pi days) added to last week of May 2006, is Feb 2015. That was exactly when I began coding a social network which I did ship. First software I've shipped since 2006. Note in 2008 - 2011 period I got off into learning new programming languages such as Haxe, Haskell, and Scala and completely new ways to think about programming. In that period I messed around with numerous projects without shipping any. I also got acutely ill (ER, ICU) in May 2012 and chronically hence.

Edit: I am not really acting as a critic, i.e. I haven't changed what I've always done. I am doing engineering analysis for design work. I just happen to share it, which turns out to be critical against inferior engineering.

* except for the 2-3 weeks of coding for the Objects window, for which I paid $30,000 in 2001 (inflation-adjust that!) to a former programmer of Borland C (because I was face down in the bed with gas in my eye to hold the 100% detached retina in place so the lasered joins could solidify).

...inciting to talk about myself--LOL.

Until you offer your own coin for peer review, you're going to sound like that know-it-all brat on the basketball court who points out the flaws in everyone else's game, goes on endlessly about how great he is, but never picks up a ball and backs up the talk. Since your American, you've probably heard this: Put up or shut up.

Again, it's not that you are criticizing or refusing peer review, it's that you are simultaneously criticizing and refusing to put your project up for peer review--it may be a good (or even correct) strategy, but don't bitch when others point out its annoyance factor.
