A 100% out-of-context-single-data-point suggestion: Seems like the author has a lot of great ideas, but would benefit greatly from increased collaboration - getting the proper feedback, morphing ideas from theoretical land into reality, and also benefiting from the mindshare (and energy) of others - even something as simple as getting another pair of eyes to help debug. Most big things are built by teams, not by individuals (even if the contributions are skewed).
Every time an open source developer stops working, a star burns out somewhere in the universe.
- WhitneyLand 8y ago@nartz, thank you. I wrote a similar comment below before seeing yours, and now I’m even more curious: How much opportunity did Ticki have for good collaboration, just on that one, huge unresolved bug? How much could it have short circuited that month long drought? I’m not sure exactly how much our thoughts were overlapping, but in case you haven’t heard the name of one particular flavor, @serens response to my comment shows the wikipedia reference to the concept, apparently known to some as “rubber duck debugging”. The WP article centers around debugging, however it seems commonplace in many subjects and problem solving variations. I suspect it’s just as effective at ideation or design stages, or even when purely theoretical creativity is desired, for example in proving a mathematical result.
