I'm not sure where the derision is coming from. It seems like they made an assumption about something they have experience with, got a bunch of feedback, changed their behavior, then took the time to write about their journey for the rest of us.
The author is engaging with everyone in good faith. This kind of openness and willingness to change would be applauded.
- DistractionRect 2y agoExactly! The author could have simply written nothing, convinced themselves they were right about staying closed source or... The author could have just ignored all the feedback they got and stayed closed source or... In the face of opposition, really dug in an tried to double down and further justify staying closed source or... Take the time to sort the constructive criticism out from the negative garbage, digest it, and try to grow from it. They should be commended for being open minded and putting in the effort to grow. And to directly address the GP's comment, in order to grow the conversation has to start somewhere. You learn/grow through experience/engagement, and that's exactly what the author is doing, and in a pleasant, tactful way.
