HG and I used to have a bit of a rivalry for reasons but we buried the hatchet so that we might be able to work together as headmins and we've gotten along great ever since.I'm not going to apologize for him but I will say that I've developed a new understanding for the position he's in and how he is called up to stick up for and defend the folks under him over the last months.
If it is polite to say he is "curt" in his responses when it comes to criticisms of the codebase I would also say that is a product of the nominally ridiculously discussion that often results from criticisms of the codebase.
The whole point of this conversation, I thought(?), was trying to come up with a better way to conduct this whole shebang for the future and not singling out aspects of that exchange that are currently unsatisfactory.
Well I am not a part of that thing. I'm not part of coderbus. I'm just trying to negotiate some kind of middle-ground compromise. Being a headmin might give me some perceived clout but it really has nothing to do with this. Like I said before, none of my authority has anything to do with this. I'm only speaking right now as someone who has played here for a while and witnessed some ins and outs of different aspects of the community.soulgamer wrote:-snip-
I mean what would I practically do? Ban all the coders? Institute policies that punish players for acknowledging new code additions? That's ridiculous. I'm just another concerned voice in the conversation albeit with maybe a little more perspective on different angles of the issue than most. I can no more up and decide that this is how things should be than any of you. I am as easily ignored in this as anyone else.
My best advice for everyone would be to nudge others towards this discussion and just see what happens. There's no ultimatum any of us are in a position to give. We can at best explain our reasons for wanting a change and construct a change that is beneficial for everyone involved.
