Being mentioned by Nintendo is nice, but they should at least send him a Nintendo Switch as an appreciation. I think that's a decent thing to do, and everyone will appreciate Nintendo for their good will, instead of being just another corporation that takes open-source for granted.
- ibejoeb 6y agoBut then does everyone get something? Will it be perceived as a slight if some other contributor doesn't receive something? There would undoubtedly be a response from some that a switch alone is inadequate. I think nintendo is probably doing the most riskless thing but abiding by the terms.
- njanirudh 6y agoBut that would create a permanent premise when using open source code. If the code contributions are huge (complete framework or big library) then maybe.
- endless1234 6y ago>but they should at least send him a Nintendo Switch as an appreciation It's a (most likely) transitive npm dependency of about 50 lines of code. Not saying it doesn't do something useful -- quite sure it does, with 45M weekly installs, but it would be pretty ridiculous to send Switches for every dependency..
- learnstats2 6y agoSo that's saved them 5 developer-days of work? They can afford to send a Switch. It would be a nice gesture.
