Disclosure, disclaimer. Both apply. I disclose that I work in the field but it can also be a disclaimer that I have extremely skewed views because of the frustrations that years of working too closely with OpenGL can bring. English is not my native language, sorry for any confusion.
- to3m 14y agoPersonally I think "disclaimer" is exactly right. If you work on the drivers (or some other low-level component that's part of the general plumbing), your concerns are not always aligned with those of people writing the actual software. Therefore, if you have a complaint about something, it may be that you should be the one who has to do the hard work rather than the application writers, because making your life easier might not maximize overall happiness. So, "disclaimer" is spot on, I believe, because application writers might like to shed a tear, but not sympathize too hard...
