I want Codeberg to succeed, but every time they have a problem they ask for "help", and you go read the issue, and... they're still working on routing contexts through DB queries? Like, really, the problem is essentially a lack of typists?
And stuff like https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/220#issuecomment-956961 https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/220#issuecomment... is really worrying, like, you're counting non-critical integers one at a time, but you also think you're outsmarting the MariaDB engineers? I don't know how you productively enter a discussion like this to "help".
- aeyes 3y agoThe first iteration of my comment was actually: "Looking at this issue, the developers are clearly clueless." But that wasn't constructive. It seems to be just volunteers working on this so it makes sense that they ask for help because they can't pay their way out of this by actually having people with experience on their team.
- morelisp 3y agoThey are volunteers in the sense participation in the project is voluntary, but are also an organized non-profit accepting donations. Anyway I just logged in to fork the repo on the idea I might automate the context replacement, but... my subscriptions are somehow covered in spam for projects/users I don't follow? That is also worrying...
