FOSS is a bit like blogging in that a lot of it seems to be motivated by a desire to win an argument you lost once already.
I’m a maintainer on one library in small part because of an argument I had with a maintainer of a similar library years ago. And nearly a maintainer on another one. I voted with my feet and made improvements to DX an/or performance because I can’t pull down a wrongheaded project but I can pull up a better one.
(Incidentally I looked at his issue log the other day and it’s 95% an enumeration of the feature list of the one I’m helping out on. Ha!)
- BiteCode_dev 11mo agoNever put it this way before, but it's exactly why I started blogging. I was fed up with how bad Python content was online.
- aquariusDue 11mo agoI've never thought about it this way but now that you mention it both blogging and FOSS once stripped of substance seem like L'esprit de l'escalier externalized. Do I go soul searching now or start a blog?
