I can’t quite pin down what it is, but something about this feels… bitter? There’s definitely something lost with having more people invade your community, no doubt. But casting a wide net where “doesn’t know what nvim is” and “being a typing monkey that doesn’t give a fuck” are directly correlated feels like you’re picking a radius of hobbies around yours and setting up a fence.
I know a ton of people who are into development as a design medium. They aren’t really into the nitty-gritty of the tools, but they will talk your ear off about colour theory, interaction UX models and their favourite eras of icon design. Seeing a lot more designer-developers lately, which makes me happy. :)
There’s of course lots of dull people, of which some percentage will become developers because it’s a career. But I just don’t like making nvim and YOUR nerdiness the barrier eh?
- hxii 2y agoNvim was given as an example because I was interested in it for ages, and only recently gave it a whirl and loved it, but the situation, from my personal experience, is even more dire, where for example people are not aware of how to fix the virtual environment they are working in, or how it works so they can ask the proper questions.
