Andrew wrote ONE SENTENCE and that's enough for you to diagnose him? That's enough for you to identify a pattern of behavior? Really?

He's "polishing a pig"? He's hiding "all issues" with Zig in internal mailing lists to "project a polished facade"? ALL?! You got all that from one sentence saying he wishes the author took a different approach?

Alright, fine. Here's my analysis of your character and lifelong patterns of behavior based on your first two sentences:

You just want to tear down everybody who is trying to do good work if they make any mistake at all. You look for any imperfection in others because criticizing people is the only approximation of joy in your existence. You are the guy that leaves Google reviews of local restaurants where you just critique the attractiveness of the women who work there. You see yourself as totally justified and blameless for your anti-social behavior no matter the circumstances, and you actually relish the idea of someone being hurt by you because that's all the impact you could hope for.

If that's not accurate to who you are, well, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ that's just how it reads to me.

I am not talking about Andrew? I am sorry if that was not as clear as it needed to be.

Not sure where the tirade came from?

I am talking about the person responding here trying to decry OP for not hiding away his issues in internal communication channels.

The internal communication channels are where the people who can fix the problem are looking. They aren't looking at random blogs until it's too late to actually have a meaningful and calm discussion with the person raising the issue.

If the author had raised the issue on the actual channels that the Zig project requests people use, and then the Zig team had been dismissive or rude, then, yeah, for sure go writing blog posts. I'm not sure why this is such a hard thing to grasp. If you have an issue, raise it with the people who can fix the issue first. Don't immediately go screaming from the roof-tops. That behaviour is entitled, immature, insincere and unproductive.

> Don't immediately go screaming from the roof-tops. That behaviour is entitled, immature, insincere and unproductive.

Nobody is screaming here except for you.

You seem to be reading a lot into my replies that isn't there. I'm not sure why you're so offended. At no point have either of us actually addressed the grievances of the blog post's author. That's one of the many reasons they weren't the best option. It's like you feel I'm attacking your right to complain about things. I'm not. Complain away, it's healthy, but there are better ways to communicate with the people who can actually address the problem.

The "endless internal discussions" are more likely to give you an actual answer with considered feedback from all interested parties. The quick search, although gratifying, is more often than not just an opinion.
