The parent comment seems to suggest its author is not a frequent reader of NetBSD/OpenBSD mailing lists. This message is not at all atypical of what one would routinely see on these lists from regular contributors. Perhaps John Carmack spent some time reading the OpenBSD mailing lists before posting. It just shows that in more popular projects, or whatever the projects the comment's author is accustomed to, the expectations placed on contributors can be lower.
- yuribro 6y agoI am actually subscribed to -tech, and an OpenBSD user for around 15 years. Usually when mailing list messages or PR comments are posted to HN, they are about something very negative, either the attitude of the author (random examples - mails by Linus, mails by Poettering, and sometimes also mails by Theo) or the content of the request it replies to. And in the openbsd community does has some negative reputation about harsh communications. Just wanted emphasize it, since seeing good examples is much more educating IMHO than seeing only negative ones.
- pwdisswordfish2 6y agoVery true. Apologies for the (incorrect) assumption.
