Why is he resurrecting something that happened over 5 years ago?

Not to condone the "Chusti" mentality but this tweet just seems unnecessarily vindictive.

Also, adding the const qualifier to a C/C++ heavy codebase where it wasn't before is some useful junior work.

Edit:

Also, based on further research this 100% is punching down. The recipient was from a lower middle class background and went to a crappy college and was able to leverage that experience to get a decent job. Meanwhile the guy that resurrected this story is someone who's parents appear to be Indian Diplomats and sent him to a top college in India.
