10+ year emeritus DD here -- Honestly I think "modern" dev culture is quite different from the core of he Debian community and this is both a strength and weakness. I can't say that I want Debian to look anything like the node ecosystem.
- xtat 8y agoNot saying there's not enormous room for improvement - just would be careful to conflate that with "it needs to work more like homebrew" or whatever-- yikes
- int_19h 8y agoLook at some of the other examples people are bringing up to compare against, though. Gentoo definitely predates the modern dev culture, for example.
- debiandev 8y agoDD here. "modern" dev culture feels more like a Silicon Valley / HN bubble, where people believe that all companies "move fast and break things". Thankfully, most companies (including FAANGs where I worked) are way more careful than that. Flashy UIs change every day, really critical systems are kept very stable...
