Joking about the quality of your products is hurtful to the people who made them. Joking about dumb programming trends is offensive to the people who find them useful. You're still happily diminishing people, only now you won't even do it to their faces.

Criticism of a product or trend is not the same as criticism of its creator or users--if it even is valid criticism rather than social noise

I'm joking about the quality of the products I make, to be clear.
