> It's a shame he doesn't give the origin of this expression in programming.

Sometimes better to not assume the worst of people by default. Very easy to not know where something comes from, misremember or come up with something in parallel.

I'm not sure what you're referring to. HN is a site where article pro's and con's are discussed. The comment was respectful and I believe informative.

At no time was anything like the "worst of people" anywhere on the radar.

"It's a shame" is an expression of mild disappointment or regret. It makes no statement even by implication about intent.
