Unwelcoming to new devs is not true. Who wrote code & wasn't let in? Also, go to the bitcoin irc and try asking technical questions and observe how everyone is so willing to help new devs looking to get in.
- microcolonel 11y agoI feel like people are generally comfortable making the assertion that the community is unwelcoming; but those making the assertion generally don't seem to be able to back it up. A welcoming community doesn't need to coddle everyone who might send a patch, because that's a lot of people. If they want to succeed, they should document enough to get started, and review unfinished patches.
- riffraff 11y agosorry if I was unclear but I am not backing the assertions, I am just saying that the critique to what is written is invalid. The comment I replied to does not challenge the assumptions, but the conclusions. Whether the assumptions are true or not, I do not know.
