I shouldn’t have to explain this, but there is a huge difference between
- cute comments and snarky method names buried in source code, and
- a long, vituperative, divisive rant in the actual documentation
It’s not just about “having fun” - there’s nothing “fun” at all in the rant, it’s just unprofessional and irritating.
- cqlake 6y agoSo, selling addictive in-game purchases to kids and teenagers is professional and mature?
- ojnabieoot 6y agoNo, and I really regret engaging with you people on this! comments like this are obviously inappropriate for technical documentation regardless of whether or not you agree with the message: > It is a market of poor souls forced to compulsively consume digital content in order to forget the misery of their everyday life, commute, or just any other brief free moment they have that they are not using to produce goods or services for the ruling class. These individuals need to keep focusing on their video games (because not doing so will fill them with tremendous existential angst)
- brokencode 6y agoLighten up. Not everything needs to be stuffy and professional. This is an open source project, and if the author wants to include a funny and clearly sarcastic critique of society in the documentation, then that’s up to them. It’s not like this is offensive or NSFW or anything.
- croes 6y agoI had fun reading it, so your comment stating there is nothing fun at all is pretty self-centered. Maybe it's good to be reminded, that not all is professional and unambiguous. Just like reality.
