I absolutely agree with this. I’m a developer with over 20 years of experience at this point, even if I pivoted into platform engineering in the last years.
That is well clear in here when you ask for a suggestion and developers (I assume? I can only see that they are part of discourse itself in their title) comes and tell you that it’s not and will not be because they decided so.
OT from here
I already said this: there is a difference between being opinionated in your tech stack and being opinionated in your product. You product should cater to the users use-cases, in the limit of reasonable, not being “your ball and if others don’t like they can go somewhere else”.
I’ve already 5 new project started and thanks heavens we had someone in our community that know a bit about Ruby and it’s going to explain some basic of the flow of discourse to us in the next days so we can start writing some plugins that provide the features we need. One above all, making the Category Mods not a joke.
