So I had to click through a link to find out you’re ok with, but prefer not to get, naked pings. Naked pings I had to click through a further link to find the full definition assuming I didn’t know what you were talking about
And I’m not even trying to ask you a question! See how much faff this sort of thing is?
If people doing that is non-facetiously testing your sanity, don’t set yourself on fire to keep someone else warm, stop helping people!
- kashyapc 5y agoPlease don't be needlessly upset. First, the "link" is referring to a comment in this thread, and the fuller "definition" in the linked comment is a URL to a long email. This is how we link to things to keep messages relatively short, and avoid walls of text. Second, I don't know what's your experience dealing with community IRC. I've been doing this open source thing for ~13 years now. In real-life IRC, it's no more of a "faff" than a 2-second gentle reminder—that too only when someone repeats the egregious behaviour. (Even this "reminder", I let it slide most of the times.) Also, don't worry, I have a high threshold for frustration (critical to stay sane in this industry). I'm happy to help (and learn from) people; that's one the joys of working with open source communities!
