Ease up on the high expectations. It's just a fun project on github, not a publication in an academic journal.

- dgb23 4y agoPeople love shitting on OSS projects. Tech choices, docs, tooling, testing, number of contributors (both "Too many!" and "Bus factor!"), choice of license, there is already X, why not use Y, we already did that in the 80's... Basically anything. As if other people writing and sharing code freely is a huge problem. I think it is different when a project is part of a commercial offering, or funded by something you participate in.
- Aeolun 4y ago> People love shitting on OSS projects People love shitting on closed source projects too, but the circle of people you can reasonably do that in is fairly limited. Everyone can see this code, so you can shout it to the world.
- dylan604 4y agoWhy does being closed source limit anything? People on hear openly shit on Apple, Google, M$, blah blah without limitations. Sure, with OSS you can leave shit comments directly on the project page, it's not like people are not screaming on Twitter or other socials about closed source stuff which I'd imagine has a lot larger of an audience than the smaller tech people looking at OSS project pages
- hogyncymraeg 4y agoNot only that, but it comes at a personal cost. Few OSS project maintainers will tell you this but time spent on the project is time not spent with family and friends. They invest in these projects too.
