First you pointed out your extensive experience as a basis for your argument and now when you realize you're completely out of your depths, you call us "locked in their ways" and c…

I'm asking you what do you think about it, not what the devs think about it. Let me phrase it differently, there are a total of 16 languages and 276969 lines of code in the repo fo…

Number of different languages used in the repo: 16 Lines of code in the repo: 276969 https://pastebin.com/Fi97jHFB (as displayed by cloc on the repo)

what do you think is the proportion between boilerplate and tooling to actually useful functionality? Given this ratio what do you think about the scope of this project? I'm not su…

i honestly didn't read half of this post. i have no interest in engaging into this sort of conversation. have a nice day.

I don't think it is a "me" issue. On the contrary, I think this project has a lot of issues similar to what contemporary modern web development has. Generally firmware engineers kn…

Well, it is unmaintainable, because maintaining this set of dependencies is absurd for what this firmware is and it is unreadable, because I tried to read it and lost interest in a…

because it is unreadable and unmaintainable with all of these dependencies. Even in the description it says that it spiraled out of control at some point "Originally conceived as a…

Oh wow, that is really bad. Like 10 different technologies and at least 2 programming languages for a soldering iron firmware.

You open source guys need to figure out a way to charge people for the value that you provide. You ran the experiment for a very long time and it looks like this "beggar" model rea…

Yea, me too. I don't really understand people that say that clean code is easier to understand.

The way that mammals learn is by play. Seems like the more the abstract something is, the harder it is to play with it, since it is by definition non-concrete. In order to play wit…

How did you know it was in Webkit or Blink? What was your thought process that lead you to this conclusion? Was it prior knowledge?

I'm realizing that one of the reasons why I don't do a lot of additional hobby programming is because I'm missing a fundamental skillset that I never developed (in a reliable way) …

There are just so many of these fun AI-related concepts that seem really cool and you get the chill that they will take over the world some day. Decades pass and you realize they e…

The issue with the world view that "a job is an exchange of services" is that it is unsustainable. The sheer time magnitude of work - 40 hours a week + commute for many decades dic…

the story of browsing through code: "I'm wasting my time reading this", until you read the 3 lines that actually matter.

The essence is: https://github.com/google/log4jscanner/blob/main/jar/jar.go this is the decision logic: func (c *checker) bad() bool { return (c.hasLookupClass && c.hasOldJndiManag…

The point is that you should not emulate anyone and that you should be yourself, no matter what society tells you.

Kids come with different personalities right out of the box, ask anyone with more than one kid. You've bought into some liberal propaganda that people are fully malleable objects. …

You're saying that if he was not the asshole that he was, he would have achieved more. I'm saying that if he pretended not to be the asshole that he was, he would have achieved not…

The "difficult" in difficult personality is not for themselves, it is for everyone else. It is not necessity for being successful or valuable, but it is undeniable that people like…
