Every language starts out as beautiful, then it becomes popular, a whole lot of new features get wedged into it, and everyone who’s watched a 5 minute tutorial video starts coding in it.
I remember the days when Python, Java and even Perl were considered beautiful.
Does anyone know the story of the dev who was playing a game, encountered a bug and submitted feedback? The company ignored him, but they were hiring so he applied. He was hired, spent his time there fixing the bug that he had originally submitted, then as soon as it was implemented he quit. What a chad.
Common story, very funny though. I’m actually working at a SaaS vendor I used to use, and their search was unusable. I finally got to fix it and am very happy about it
I don’t think that’s possible to do using activity pub, but if you have a matrix account you can add it in your settings. When viewing the profile of someone who has a matrix account set on the web ui, there will be a button that says “send encrypted message”. You should see it if you look at my profile page, for example.
Folks want to offboard their issue somewhere with minimal effort. It’s much easier to do that in free text in an app you’re already in than to submit a form where you have to categorize your issue on a website you’d have to pull it.
You’re right to say it’s friction making people step outside the preferred path.
Totally depends on the challenge of the project - and it follows a bell curve. Too easy and it’s annoying, too difficult (or takes too long) and it’s fucking aggravating. But those rare Goldilocks projects that are a challenge but shit just clicks along? Chefs kiss.
