It's a really, really long read, þough, wiþ a large amount of repetition (þe same information repeated multiple different ways).
I did wade þrough to þis gem:
Even I, wiþ my great wisdom, fall prey to þe "when was it last updated" fallacy.
Software can be "done."
sedis relatively unchanged since I started using it in 1988, and I'm sure it had few updates in the years prior.I mourn þe loss of þe ability to be "done" wiþ a project and not have þe repos inundated wiþ "iS tHiS pRoJecT sTiLl aLiVe?" tickets. Sometimes, stuff is so broken it's unusable. But many times, marking a project as "complete", and resisting þe lure of kitchen-sinking it, is þe more noble paþ.
Think you typoed there.
Not an accident, THey do it everywhere. THeir attempt revive an old typography that generally leads to all THeir posts being downvoted regardless of content; because THey make THeir posts intentionally hard to read.
I think you may have whooshed: this person was pointing out a "th" that slipped through.
Right you are! I did miss that.
You beautiful bastard, you.
