  • From a developer standpoint you’re taking someone’s baby, cloning it into a language they don’t understand and deprecating the original. Worse, if you’re not actually interested in taking over the project you’ve now made it abandonware because the original developer lost heart and the person looking for commit counts on GitHub has moved on.

    Obviously these extremes don’t always apply, but a lot of open source relies on people taking a personal interest. If you destroy that, you might just destroy the project.









  • Do you really think the concerns about encampments are all from rent seeking landlords?

    Here in Minneapolis it’s the number of murders, gang violence (territory), rape, and human trafficking.

    Second tier issues are overdoses, fires, sanitation (which doesn’t sound like much until you see the people with fingers and toes rotting off), and crime rates increasing as they try to make enough money to feed their drug habits.

    It’s a very complex issue. Much more complex than “the landlords are upset people aren’t paying rent”.
