It seems like you're simultaneously arguing that this project is important and valuable and a lot of work, but also there are a million other options for what it does and it's trivial to create new ones.
And even if I don't personally use this linter configuration file, it can hurt me in two ways:
1. If it's a transitive dependency of some other project I use
2. By normalizing rent-seeking behaviors like putting advertisements in a package's installation output
- Klathmon 7y agoI'm not saying it's trivial, but that it's one of many options. I can't make a TV myself, and I find the ability to make a TV valuable enough that I'm willing to pay good money for one, but there are literally thousands of options to choose from if I went to buy a TV. As for the other parts, this is a linter, it offers no value as a transitive dependency and it's existence in one is a mistake in the vast majority of cases. And I don't actually like how they are funding this. I don't like the idea of polluting the CLI output with this stuff, especially at install time. But the idea that the package is somehow undeserving of funding because it's trivial or because you personally don't see the value in it is infuriating to me.
