The usual thing: they're trying to differentiate from all the other job ads. It's meaningless on its own. To form a judgement one would need to see what they're working on, how they're working on, in what environment, an

And for each and every package/project I would need convince the maintainer that he doesn't understand what he's doing, he's doing it wrong, and he should learn a correct method? Because it all boils to this (barring a m

Even though I agree with you here (I still use Wheezy, personally and professionally), most projects don't target that old releases, so they build mainly for modern mainstream (Debian/Ubuntu and Red Hat/CentOS), which means s

This is a long way to spell "we know nothing and have nothing of substance to say". "Market salary" by its very definition is what employers want to pay workers. It's hard to argue that most of the employers pay bel

What's "modern" in this? Also, "no dependency hell, single binary made with go", but 54 different modules imported. ROTFL.

> They also serve as a form of code documentation (defining expected behavior). Oh, far from it. Tests are not documentation, documentation is documentation. Tests can be treated as a set of examples at best.

I'm aware it is not unusual. It is not unusual for software to be badly written, too (being wide-spread is no sign of being a proper way of doing things). For a single project (and OP said it was one project) depending on that many spe
