I think it's sort of sad that this simple act of trust in your community (having coffee and exposing yourself to others) has to be over-analysed and dissected into a blog. Broadening and Deepening events, just dividing the whole act as

I had the incredible luck to stumble upon this book early in my career and it helped me tremendously in so many ways. If I could name only one it would be that it helped me get over the sentiment of being helpless in front of a difficult si

To truly believe that uselessness (such as advertising the pressing of a button) should be rewarded is terribly short-sighted. That's what I meant when I said that it spoke volumes about what you consider to be a contribution in FOSS.

I wanted to comment, and I did. And I did say a fair point, in my opinion. The fact that you'd rather have me shut up speaks volume about what you consider a contribution in FOSS, and frankly I hope it's not a reflection on how yo

Because it's dishonest to say they're keeping it alive while all they're doing is talking about it. You want to believe them, go ahead and celebrate.

If their actions spoke louder than their words I would actually be interested. But that's what they did didnt they ? They pressed a button and they've posted it on HN. They actually did more to publish the button pressing than th

I think it's okay to ask if the project is dead, but when they start pressuring you like they're your PM it may be time to remind the users that the project is open source and that they have the option to fork it to work on it on

You can expect this kind of dishonesty and self-serving politics for as long as we tolerate climate change induced disasters and its consequences on the human kind.

The struggle make your knowledge crystallize even better, on top of overcoming the failure. I almost wish anyone to fail one important class in university.

That one made me cringe hard, the guy would just not use the built-in function or have the decency to sling back into the shell with :! wc -w filename.whatever. Insanity described in that post.

The whole development process is a give and take between deadlines and features. My impression is that she's dissatisfied with the leadership of the project, and voices her many concerns publicly instead of working it out or working t
