For one, it's not "gracious professionalism" and for two it just makes you look like an ungreatful arse. I hate to say it man but that crap is irritating, it is the sort of stuff that I see happening with Microsoft employees who have to patch each others code. This sort of stuff doesn't need patching, it needs to be reworked and tweaked to get maximum performance which patching doesn't provide. Many thanks to the guy or gal who gave his code for the dashboard, I think it's great to see some FIRST robotics code being opened.
I am in the wrong.

But I must admit, some of the ways he implemented things was difficult. Several issues I fixed in an hour or 2. I'm glad someone did it, and maybe I should think of it as polishing it up. I suppose I had to do some work.
