Such a humble announcement. I miss these kinds of projects. Most new projects today (by individuals or otherwise) are usually "best of", "world changing", "ground shaking", emoji filled nonsense, usually biting more than the developer(s) can handle, causing a buggy mess.
- outside1234 8y agoTo be clear, Linux was definitely a buggy mess at the beginning and definitely more than Linus could handle, but they got through that by building community around fixing all of that.
- LeoNatan25 8y agoThat's fine, bugs are acceptable and expected as long as expectations are set accordingly. It seems clear from the start that the project didn't promise the world and its sister.
- alexis_fr 8y agoMore than he could handle? “I’ve already ported bash and gcc and it seems to work”. Who, even today, would even dare trying to do so much work in a few months?
- icebraining 8y agoI don't agree; most new projects I see are like this[1] - just the code, a reasonable description and some documentation. The flashy projects are probably more likely to appear on HN/Reddit, but I don't think they're at all more common.
