I am somebody who has been working in this industry for 15+ years, so I have written a lot of legacy code. I can confirm that it feels hurtful when something you worked really hard for years ago gets bashed or made fun of.

Especially when it is something that works, has been working for years and what the end-users like to use, but it's written in jQuery (long before fancy frameworks even existed).

I know it's not meant to hurt me, but it does nonetheless.
