Comment on How I Created the Iconic iPhone Soundparent

The old adage "If you haven't got anything nice to say..." applies here. When someone else posts a short explanation of how they created something, why do you feel the need to deride it as being "not a big deal"? Does dismissing the work of other people help you feel better about yourself?

Because the details of how it was made doesn't matter much, since you could bang on kitchen appliances and come up with a similar simple fraction-of-a-second jingle. Though I have conceded that it is a nice enough story for historical purposes. But hardly anything more than that.

Does dismissing the work of other people help you feel better about yourself?

This is just childish, emotionally charged rhetoric.
