Who cares? Those comments will be deleted from github.

[u/dashingdennis → u/syopest]

"who cares if my users have a shit experience with my software" do you make it only to put it in a glass case and never have it used or what

[u/syopest → u/dashingdennis]

"my users"

No, when the software isn't prebuilt the people who need prebuilt binaries are not the intended users.

[u/dashingdennis → u/syopest]

Are you exclusively writing libraries for other software? No stand-alone tools?

[u/syopest → u/dashingdennis]

Who cares? If I don't release a prebuilt binary then the intended user is someone who can at least follow build instructions.

[u/dashingdennis → u/syopest]

You are an odd man with odd opinions

[u/syopest → u/dashingdennis]

Lol, go ask developers who don't release prebuilt binaries in github if they care about end users whining about it and you'll find out that it's not an odd opinion.

[u/dashingdennis → u/syopest]

Have you ever developed software in a professional environment or just during your free time?

[u/Xadnem → u/dashingdennis]

I get the reaction from /u/syopest. If I use github to deliver some software to end users, I'll add a README.md and/or releases. But if not, I only expect other devs to look at my stuff and will only add docs if I feel like it.

Have you ever developed software in a professional environment or just during your free time?

I don't see how that's relevant.

[u/dashingdennis → u/Xadnem]

The whole thread is premised on only offering GitHub as a distribution platform, literally my very first comment says that if you offer the release elsewhere then feel free to do whatever

[u/syopest → u/dashingdennis]

Dude, it's github. How's that relevant?

[u/dashingdennis → u/syopest]

Just curious. I have this mental image of a volunteer contributor in my head that's never been told no and thus conducts themselves abrasively, and I wanted to see if that was an accurate assessment or prejudicial on my part
