You’re mistaking how with what. We’re talking about „how” here

Slippery slope is fine and all but do you have any constructive argument?

Already got replaced at world top tier tech jobs. „True SWE” will be niche / luxury soon, just like real woodworking vs IKEA

> What I wanted was to say “hey Siri, call Claw Phone” and have the audio system in my Toyota become an IDE. So I build it.

Or just focus on driving? Why we are doing it to ourselves? It seems so toxic to fill every possible little moment with… productivity? Is it even productive?

This comment is too emotional but i just felt so sad while reading this

? Do you know what “source” means in open source? Like, what is the source of the binary? It’s the code. That’s the source in open source.

I 100% agree with you but also sad fact is that it’s easy to understand why people don’t want to take this role. You can make enemies easily, you need to deliver “bad news” and convince people to put more effort or prove that effort they did was not enough. Why bother when you probably won’t be the one that have to clean it up

Have you ever considered that you don’t understand why those decisions were made and that’s why you think they were made for the wrong reasons?

I love those paragraph so much. Thank you.

“In this article, I’m going to be making an argument for gatekeeping. Not people, but culture, which is always worth defending. I’m not advocating for elitism, credentialism, or hostility towards beginners.

Instead, I say we should band together and defend the norms, values, quality standards, and our shared understanding of what open–source is for.”

I think this is very important distinction that should be understood broader.

This is true also for steam deck but it’s a success anyway. COD, Fortnite, LoL players can stay on windows. I’m happy to play newest indie game on my Linux machine
