I submitted a few patches but got turned of having to deal with Vala and C. Tooling and docs feel ancient compared to whats available in .Net/Java/js etc. Thats said I really admire how ambitious they tried to be and all the stuff

"six to seven years" what a joke. How many people stay on the same team for six to seven years these days to have long term effect on orgs or policy? Just ask anyone to predict where they will be in six to seven years first or wha

Why not compare it to sports teams where you keep some people on a bench through the season? I definately dont think a whole bunch of dangerous cobras are being creared.

If 2 ppl are running on a track, given different needs, abilities, personalities, life experience etc to get into sync usually one has to slow down and the other has to speed up. But staying in that state for ever can be quite an unnatural

So the gist seems to be when people are willing to donate to you dont raise cash. Instead wait for god knows what situation in this unpredictable world to strike and then start your fund raising. The only reason Fuckerberg or Ellison or Mur

Why have you found therapy useless? Our chimp mind is not well suited to do SELF analysis for various reasons. The danger here, while you are stuck in some hole, is that the ever imaginative chimp mind comes up with self analysis that is p
