I was really caught off guard by this stuff recently. I was around the rust subreddit a lot back in 2013-2015 and never saw stuff like that. Stepped out while working on other stuff and now it seems common. Super strange.
- progval 6y agoAs an occasional rust programmer: you don't see this kind of behavior from the rust community. You see it when a random person opens an issue on a bugtracker you are subscribed to. Then it's usually prompty closed by a maintainer because the issue is very low effort, and the author doesn't offer to do any work themselves. Examples: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient/-/issues/1049 https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient/-/issues/1049 and https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/issues/9092 https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/issues/9092
- aspaceman 6y agoMakes sense. Sorry wasn’t trying to say it’s anyone’s fault at all. Just was weird as someone who’s been on and off that programming for awhile now.
- progval 6y agoNo problem, I didn't take it personally. Re-reading my comment I realize "you don't see this kind of behavior from the rust community" was unclear. I meant that people who are part of rust community don't see it, because it happens outside.
