Really silly, mean-spirited post. Open-source software is one of the pinnacles of human culture, and it's a wonderful fact that our most capitalist economies depend on it absolutely. There is nothing impressive or honourable or wise or interesting about the sentiment expressed in the post.
- spiderfarmer 8y ago..and evidently, the open source community and its products could be even more impressive if it was better at responding to criticism. You are bad at this - and that’s a problem.
- Myrmornis 8y agoI'm just stating my opinion; that's essentially what this site is for. I wasn't criticized and therefore was not responding to criticism. It is true that I have little time for codes of conduct etc.
- spiderfarmer 8y ago"It is true that I have little time for codes of conduct etc" That's the worst excuse for plastering the internet with low quality 'opinions' like the one above.
- Myrmornis 8y agoNo, the problem is that you don’t like my opinion, not that it is low quality. And that’s absolutely fine. I made two serious points in 3 sentences; the remainder was a criticism of the post. My points were about what a fascinating and positive phenomenon open source is. If you’d like I can explain them to you again.
- commandlinefan 8y agoShe seems to be implying that she has one hell of a fix for the Linux kernel, but she’s not sharing it because Linus is mean to contributors. I can’t fathom how awesome this fix must be for her to write about it twice, and she doesn’t go into any detail.
