> What matters more is that I describe why
Actually no, we do need to know who this guy is, and anyone like him. There is no Why here. Only How. Which is always, ALWAYS what it’s about. How.
“bring much value”
“could this”
“why not”
“capable”
“I’m not a saint”
“I honestly don’t pay attention”
“I unfortunately cannot tell you”
“Somehow”
“to be honest I don’t really know myself”
“Yes, it consumes maintainer time. Yes, it may waste effort. But maybe its worth it?”
“I kind of framed this internally as a kind of social experiment”
“I do very little guidance”
“When it would tell me about a PR comment/mention, I usually replied with something like: ‘you respond, dont ask me’”.
“test whether”
SAME SHIT. EVERY TIME.
If this is the person, I wouldn’t trust them with a TI-83. Step away from the microwave. No sharp objects. Just Play-Doh for a Play-Doh mind.
