It's not "negative comments" to point out to other people what works and what doesn't.
Complain as much as you want about how I don't push fixes, but as long as I'm not paid those complaints are better kept to yourself.
(I realize you are not one of the developers for this project. I only want to illustrate how negativity goes both ways. I'm a bit tired of "contribute or shut up". There's a big gray area inbetween.)
- Mbvhfchffdsr 12y agoIt's kind of strange how there's a whole generation of young developers who are supposedly «hurt» by perfectly valid criticism of objectively flawed or bad work. This wasn't always the case. Before the whole «social justice» movement infected the software development industry and hobby, it was expected that bad work would get publicly criticized. This was a good thing, because it fostered improvement, and high quality work. But now that apparently all takes a back seat to making sure nobody has «hurt feelings».
- xorcist 12y agoIt needn't be bad, even. Pointing out a bug in the comment field is somehow "negativity", while working through the bug tracker of github is "constructive". In this case one could say thank you for the input and register the issue oneself, if the project was dear to ones heart. I wonder if it is a product of young developers being told to build a public github profile, that they are increasingly careful about?
