If y'all ain't writing code, and are complaining about how horrid the open source software is, don't be a hypocrite, my $0.02

If you don't have the skills, and want it to be better, then file the issues and give feedback so that people can fix things faster because frankly there are NOT enough people working on all of these codebases, and

far far far fewer with the actual skills to fix it.

Just FYI - I came out of "Code Retirement" just to help fix shit. Yes I retired from coding at a young age....

Of course I am also happy to stop and do non technical things its more entertaining and, its really of no consequence, right? right?? (NOT)

yes, i'm writing the code

it's extremely taxing work at times, sometimes you feel like you are like a miner trying to ding a hole in a rock that is as hard as steel and then after 3 days the whole thing shatters and you can continue with the more fun things than fixing bugs that broke everything

truly, the opacity of code is no different to the opacity of the rocks underneath us... you don't know what it is until you have to encompass it

Are the young coders knowledgeable enough to take over? Are there sufficient talented young coders? Are they trained effectively for the important shit or are their skills misaligned?

Depending on the answers, can someone predict the future?

i'm training one, and yes i have some arguments with him because he has been indoctrinated with wishy washy berkeley university bullcrap crypto-marxist propaganda mindfuck

but he's catching the drift, and i'm sure there are others and i'm looking forward to when i have more apprentices and when i get my current project out and in a state where i'm proud of it
