In a way, it's much easier to make the 20 minute video. Just hit record, rant an rave, stop recording and publish.

There are indeed justified long videos stuffed full with knowledge, insight and witty comments to make it fun.

Then there are "slow" videos but magical. Paul Sellers has a 30 min video on how to make mortise and tenons joint with hand tools. Just you and him in real time. You get a (recorded) private lesson from a master craftsman. It's magic. Every minute of it is knowledge transfer.

This some next level philosophy pondering, thanks.

Thanks for the quote and link. I do appreciate those who make the internet a better place even though they toss around a slightly passive aggressive advice along the way!

Why?

I'm know it's pretty pointless to argue because we see the world in a different way. But realize the (quoted) requirements are you putting on the open source developer.

A developer without these skills will burn out.

I think that might be the problem.

It's comments like these that causes people to wear out.

Oh no. I'm convinced majority of burnouts are almost entirely caused by dealing with shitty people and/or shitty processes.

Shitty processes sometimes happen without shitty people, the people involved just let it happen.

Criticism hits incredibly hard. I'd watch a friend play for hundreds of people at a concert and he'd receive a standing ovation.

But he overheard a single disgruntled remark from someone which nullified the whole experience for him.

I know he was being overly sensitive about it, but I've heard similar stories from other people too.

Historically perhaps, but if you notice what's been happening in America then the line between government and corporation is getting very blurry.

Also historically, when you have a fascist government then companies/corporations are quick to join the party if they want to survive.

I wonder if it's "inverse" has been studied. Promise the child another one after 15 minutes but then either not deliver on the promise or even steal the one marshmallow.

I know people that had the equivalent happen to them as kids, and I think it had enormous effect on their personality as adults.

Depending how often it happens, I wouldn't be surprised if that's how you raise sociopaths.

Flashy trashy is just crap. Some might call it art but then again everything is art these days.

It problem is more deep rooted with both "move fast and break everything" and non/under funded project. Everyone is depending on each others hobby project. The js/npm culture is especially bad.

Yes, SemVer makes it easy, but versioning has to be dead easy.

Which is just fine when it is a non funded free software project. No one owes you anything in that case, let alone backwards compatibility.

Try sending this graph to an actual human analyst. His response, after you paying him will probably be to cut off any further business relationship with you.
