The part that is hard to "get" is the constant complaining. You could complain once and then let it go, but the favored technique seems to be to beat it to death, accompanied by mock surprise that not every person gives the same priority to things. It's boring, frankly.
- erdevs 10y agoI am pretty sure that this is the first time, or at most one of the few times, I personally have made any note of this general issue. Are you perhaps displacing? Do you think it's actually fair to take the view that because other people may have made note of an issue repeatedly in the past, it is therefore to be frowned upon if any new person also makes note of it from their own perspective? I guess you'd also tell Alan Kay, who made the actual comment under original discussion here, to muzzle it because his thought is boring? In any case, by your own logic, shouldn't you not have replied at all because no doubt many, many other people have replied to this issue as you are here, given that it is apparently such well-trod ground? Aren't you then being hypocritical? And do you actually think it's fair-minded to call what I specifically wrote a "complaint"?
- dredmorbius 10y agoAdvocacy or evangelism, and repetition, go hand in hand. Your complaint makes little sense, and has no foundation.
