No.

I'm not a coder. I will never be. I will just complain in a snarky fashion until the douche crew capitulates or is humiliated into QA/QC compliance.

Your snarkiness is plain toxicity. Same for some members of your douche crew. Birds of a feather flock together.

As you see it. Sure. And I do. And we will.

Generally, I don't care. Why? We are already winning. Our products are barely starting to come together and yet they already work better and more reliably than most of the stuff that's been around for years at this point. We've identified weaknesses, flaws, and just awful code. We have a more comprehensive plan to "build it ourselves." We are more driven by dedication to improvement than anyone else I've seen thusfar.

I'm confident that competence will reign supreme in the near future. Past the hype. Further than the hopium. Beyond the big money.

And gosh, my dude... If you are so bent out of shape by snark at this point... How do you function as an adult? I'm actively not being toxic. Granted, I do and will rub people the wrong way, but that's because I'm brilliantly sarcastic. 🤷‍♂️😎😁

You know, that's exactly what I kept being told.

You don't like the bug?

Send a PR.

Build your own.

Learn to code.

Why should anyone take developers seriously as suppliers of a product, if that is the response they receive?

There's this attitude that FOSS is better software, but software alone is useless. Only service matters. Free software that I can't get to work effectively and efficiently, doesn't actually exist as a product, for me. It's a curiosity. It actually costs me time and money to fix and struggle to use it. It's "data garbage" or a mere "Gedankenexperiment" as the Germans say.

It's cheaper for me to pay for something that actually works, where there is someone caring about helping me, on the other end.
