I dunno, I've had my fair share of "Can you elaborate on why you want to" as a blow off technique in my software career. This isn't helped by the GH engineer originally suggesting no one needs this, then another employee chiming in with "Yeah, sorry about that. We've heard this feedback a lot...".
I can perfectly understand the frustrations of the author - its kind of absurd someone working on a search feature needing the reasoning explained for why someone might want the most recent results, especially when the old search had this feature. I don't work at GH and I don't require "elaboration" for this request - I understood the OP perfectly.
- samwillis 3y agoIt's notoriously hard to convey tone in written English, and I think the OP has read far too much into the response he initially had. "Can you elaborate on why you want to" is an incredibly legitimate question in that sort of feedback thread, they are looking for use case.
- giobox 3y agoAgreed, but it's not notoriously hard to understand why recent results is useful - the use case is self-evident, and the new search has regressed - the old search could do it.
