Shame, shame, shame, on every detractor to open source here. The code may be crappy but at least someone released code to the public and they get to learn from it. Why don't you all write a blog post on the intricacies of how shitty this code is so that future developers can learn what not to do. Your negative responses are shameful. And you won't do a write-up since you are a lazy to begin with!
- kevindong 7y agoThere's nothing wrong with open sourcing bad code---we do live in a free world after all. But much like they were free to open source it, I'm free to critique it, not use it, and not support it. It's just striking that the team behind the project calls their code "production-ready" despite it objectively not being true. Furthermore, they have the audacity to try charging for a support contract for what is undeniably going to be buggy code. Albeit I suppose it's still admirable they open sourced their code at all.
- catoc 7y ago> "... it's a free world, I'm free to critique it" He didn't say you're not free to critique it. He asked that if you do, critique it in a useful way: don't just shame it, but instead articulate what exactly sucks and how it could be done better. If you failed and are brave enough to show your failure to the world, let's appreciate that and learn from it, not bash it so that afterwards no one dares releasing anything anymore (not saying you did this, just explaining his point). Kudos for opensourcing!
- matz1 7y agoPeople are free to shame it too.

- mixmastamyk 7y agoYou seem very confused about the subject and human nature for that matter. I don’t know how to help you.
- catoc 7y agoYour comment is indeed not helping, anyone in any way. It just bashes someone making a point, without adding anything of substance.
- mixmastamyk 7y agoA reality check may be helpful, assuming the person is ready to hear it.
- catoc 7y agoTrue.
- jodrellblank 7y agoEvery comment of yours in this thread is insulting, negative, critical and - in your own words - commenting like that is shameful. What are you trying to contribute by calling everyone else who comments lazy arrogant wannabees?
