The GP spoke of mindshare. Marketshare shifts frequently lag shifts in mindshare by years.
Some Perl fora had started to become hostile by 1999. It had clearly begun to lose core talent and something needed to be done about that.
- microtherion 7y agoThere was plenty of hostility in 1996, too. By 2000, certainly some people decided something needed to be done about the hostility, but I don't recall "core talent" leaving over it.
- raiph 7y agoMaybe I'm wrong. My memory is too hazy on it partly because I was just an outsider looking in. I know some "important people" quit p5p, but could well believe they didn't quit the community.
