So? I don't think the world needs more bad open-source code. If people only open-source good code, then that saves everyone the trouble of sifting through the junk like this. People being afraid to open source bad code would be a good thing.

And having a top comment on HN warning me that the code is pretty bad saves me time, too, because I don't have to read the code or try using it to find that out. So I really appreciate people publicly pointing out that the code is bad.

I'd feel more positive about this code if it had been submitted with a request for code review and feedback rather than being presented as a "a portable, license-free, lock-free data structure library written in C" with a whole website advertising it as being ready for use.
