I'm giving away my ideas for free, so I'm morally superior to you! ;-D
Yeah, sorry, didn't mean to be more combative than that.
The idea I'm giving away is that 99.9% of the stuff people expect[1] from software nowadays is just plain unnecessary. Actually detrimental, in many (most?) cases: It just complicates things.

[1]: Or perhaps, I suspect, that software developers nowadays just think people expect from software, so they provide it without even reflecting whether it's really necessary at all.

For the most part i blame that on the marketing folks rather than developers, but FOSS projects like this one have no marketing folks who i can push the blame off to ;).
- CRConrad 4y agoThe marketroids are the ones that make devs think that, yes, but whichever way they get it, the devs end up with that exaggerated impression. Affects FOSS devs too; they can't make themselves selectively deaf only to marketroid-speak. Well, I guess in part one can, but given how pervasive it is throughout the industry, not entirely.
