You wrote my comment. Love to see the email work flow promoted but I am pretty confused with ayllu

You can’t have one without the… other.

Exactly. Disgusting and extreme brutality on both sides but especially from the Israeli side and for generations now.

LOL

Well I’ve been a part of the Sourcehut (one of his major projects) community for many years and have interacted with him many many times. I’ve never found him to be a drama queen. Is he outspoken? Yea. Does he stand up for what he believes in? Yea. So he usually goes against the grain and catches flack for it.

His last article, which is referenced in the current article, gives context:

This is ideal for me. I refuse to use Discord period and only use Slack only for direct client work (when they request that we use it.)

Mailing lists are great imho but I’m older than most people probably on these communities. So I’m very familiar with this.

I do think a ticket tracker is useful/required though.

At this point, who cares when LibreOffice exists? Though I do get the potential confusion for newbies but there is so much written out there on this topic I feel like it’s harder and harder to get confused on the two.

Well there are many smaller projects than the kernel that still use the email workflow. To me it’s simple, not archaic. You’re right though, you definitely would miss out on contributors but that’s just the reality of the dev world today.

I hope I never have to look for a job again but with the way my business has gone lately, I may need to start thinking about it in a few years.

I’ve also been coding for 25 years, most of that professionally. I’m not sure I could pass a tech interview.

This is what I love about it. Also email is used in the biggest projects in the world (including the linux kernel). It allows anyone to just clone & contribute immediately.

We run our own SourceHut instance because I hate all the social dopamine crap built into GH. I hate you need an account just to participate in a repo. I hate the heavy UI (sometimes it’s better than others).

Also, srht supports hg as well as git.
