MentalEdgeHelp, I am scared...
DarkwinDuckTell them they can open a PR if they want.
If they are asking for examples then they don’t know how to use it yet
Well yes. It’s a joke.
001100 010010Lemmy Devs: peacefully developing the Lemmy code for free
Reddit Refugees: “WHY IS THIS SO BUGGY?”
Honestly lol. Real-time stress test!
DessalinesWe’re probably hitting close to the all-time high of unread notifications on github… I’m at 1752 rn, only watching lemmy projects.
It does feel like I’ve become the personal issue tracker for a few thousand people all the sudden. 99% of ppl are nice, but there’s always someone demanding free labor to fix their pet issue, while offering to do none of the work themselves, and making ultimatums that they won’t use your software until it gets added.
It’s like okay then??? I’m not selling a product, so I don’t care. I’ve essentially set up a free cookie stand and they’re complaining at me that I don’t have rainbow sprinkles.
Don’t worry about those asshats! You guys are doing great work, Lemmy is awesome!
Dude, thank you so much for your hard work. Ignore those people.
I wonder if making a separate bug-reporting place and having some people sort them to lessen the load might be helpful. Im a very newbie programmer and know nothing in rust but still want to help out, and sorting through bugreports seems like something that might be helpful, and need minimal rust experience, just sorting individual requests into piles of same problems to lessen the sorting needing to be done by those who can actually work on fixing the bugs.
This is the reason I ended up hating my old open source projects. It’s not enough you give people something for free some people just always demand more.
But awesome work with lemmy hopefully working on it doesn’t wear you down too much and you get some enjoyment from it still.
RickyRigatoniHow come I can’t install Lemmy on my grill and have it cook me hotdogs?
Thank you for making this software. It’s really opened my eyes about what the internet could be in the future, and how it really mirrors real life in many ways. Take your time, I’m sure you (and any other dev) will knock out the big issues with the software if they ever pop up. The small stuff can wait
Lemmy devs are being paid to develop Lemmy, they literally admit to it.
You mean like donations? Or something else?
No, they’re being paid by a European group to develop Lemmy.
Actually, to be fair, they’re being paid salaries to work on Lemmy lol
Sorry guys, I’m very much a monkey on a bike.
IvanI thought that in such case I acomplished success as open source developer: someone actually like my software enough yo use it
While I know this is meant to be funny, anyone finding them in this position should give this a read

I am not a supplier
For the past few years, we have seen a lot of discussions around the concept of the Software Supply Chain. These discussions started around the time of LeftPad and escalated with multiple incidents in the past few years. The problem of all the work in this domain is that it forgets a fundamental point.
Excellent reading, thanks for sharing
And that’s why it’s so important that that is not undermined: techcrunch.com/…/in-letter-to-european-commission…
CookieJarObserverJust pretend you never saw the question and moove on lol
dullbananas (Joseph Silva)Done here github.com/apple/swift/issues/42649
What’s documentation?
My worst nightmare lol
Damn, actually can’t wait to get there (just have to actually finish something first).
The first time I did a web site that was any use to other people, was exactly like this.
I’m not an open source dev, but I do have to maintain a codebase that depends on a package that’s written by a lone individual in their spare time and all I can say is that there really needs to be an engineering license for commercial software engineering.
Alas, that’s the very nature of open source development.
Yes, I know but that meme refers to things like openssl. I’m referring to devs who decide to depend on no name, not even beta tested packages that some college kid wrote to pad their resume.
Probably me, if only I could finish anything…
LastI just added a whole bunch of comments, examples, and unit tests to a project that was sitting in my github unfinished. I didn’t write any of this myself though… just saying lol
Can someone please mirror this meme vertically so that bottom text reads first
ObiI got you

Couldn’t chat gpt do it for you?
I’ve thrown powershell scripts at it, telling it to add comments to the code, and it did a great job.
Wren 🪐Literally anytime I send my dad (retired IT) a script I’ve been working on and he sends it back with the equivalent to red pen corrections on a paper / telling me all the various avenues of exception handling I need to add
