If the post does not have any use-cases proving value then perhaps this is something yet to be validated, i.e. the burden on the users, not the creators.
- IncreasePosts 6mo agoCorollary: if the post does have use-cases providing value, this is something yet to be validated and the value is just imagine by the author
- RugnirViking 6mo agoIn an era where creating such libraries is much cheaper than validating that they're useful or work, yeah you really should validate it before you expect someone to use it. Nobody is going around trying out every slop project they see, they'd be wasting hours and hours for no gain at all. This all being said, I do find the idea interesting, but heeded it's advice when it said it's hideously expensive and risky to use. So yes, I do want someone braver, richer, and stupider than me to take the first leap
- en-tro-py 6mo agoWhy would the onus on the value prop be on the user? There should be no shortage of examples the creator could provide, unless of course...
- phist_mcgee 6mo agoYou're prompting it wrong!
- slopinthebag 6mo agoWym? I can slop out 100 libraries/frameworks/packages/cli's a day, the onus is not on other people to prove that they are useful.
- pitched 6mo agoYou’re very good at this! I have trouble slopping out more than a day or two! Treat this like art. There are some neat ideas, maybe not executed particularly well. Somewhere around 7/10 IMDB score. The working implementation makes the blog post more impactful more than the other way around.
- slopinthebag 6mo agoIf it was art, I would find it really quite neat. However it doesn't seem intended as such: > Gas Town “just works.” It does its job, it has tons of integration points, and it has been stable for many weeks. People are using it to build real stuff.
