The grandparent comment is an example of the kind of “middlebrow dismissal” [1] that isn’t really welcome here. It sets the tone with dismissive snark (“find and dandy”), then implicitly asserts that the project is not interesting because it’s not production-ready. Of course it’s obvious to everyone here that version 0.2 beta software is not production-ready, so obvious that comments to that effect are at best superfluous, at worst annoying. But its production-readiness is clearly not the focus of the discussion, rather its novelty and potential is. That’s what makes it interesting and worth discussing here.
