- circuit10 3y agoNew developers can also create genuinely new and useful things, some people (like me) learn by creating (hopefully) useful things as it’s more motivating

- circuit10 3y agoBut aren’t people meant to be able to push useful things to pip? These developers might not even be new, they might just not talk about it online much, or they could be new but fast learners, so these projects could still be things that many other people want
- raverbashing 3y agoIf it's really useful (and it has users beside the author) yeah, but I wouldn't upload a 30min project just because you feel like it Pip is already full of crap projects, I don't care if you're a 'fast learner', and you could be clobbering a name (or a similar name) to a more important package
