Would you please kindly stop this useless banter? People like you make me sick. Being a developer is hard, not that you would know...
I can confirm, I've even made this account just to post with this. Me being an ex-Developer (I Quit developing for other people, and made only personal projects)
there is only Five things i will have ever noticed what happens when anything is announced, Made, or even spoken about.
> People WILL Get excited, Some handle excitement more then others given, but theres always the few who go overboard and make it hyped more then what it really is worth.
> The developer(s) Get stressed, We are humans too, We can only have a certain amount of stress per-persona basis. Some handle this stress good, some don't, some have a higher stress tolerance, some have just enough. its different per-person.
> Things happen; Codes+Errors can occur at any time, at any place, sometimes even in places you never even touched (e.g. Editing something in file 1 can be ok im the rest, but later on conflict with file 3, 4, 5, and 6; and it's patch for that conflicting make an unknown error you have to find manually)
> Deadlines = More stress, and more people loosing their minds. (user-end based), i have personally Quit all my personal Public Developments because people wanted it done, and wanted it done "NOW!!!?!?!", PEople are impatient when they want something.. but this isnt 1-800-cash-now, you can't have it now just because u want it. it will take time.
> lately. Programming has been a "competition against time" to satisfy the end-users to use the program. and Frankly since i began programming (at ~age 13 for minor Projects, to now 20 with some more "Complex" but not really the best programming) i have notices a few things, that People DO get impatient, and don't want to wait, They think only for themselves, and not for the developer(s) involved, and they think just because we build code, we ARE code. We are NOT robots, and we do have lives irl, as well as Humanity concepts such as, but not limited to, personal Preferences, Time spans on what we see fit, our own personal biases, Stress tolerance, heck, we even have emotions who knew?
The fact that i see someone hard-working like Pingo, Smea, ShinyQuagsire, and even more WITH codes they actually do show at times. makes me sick, not for this community in general, but the fact people ARE spoiled, and frankly when people say "end-users don't deserve these things" in the tech-world. they mean it, as frankly Smea and the others didn't HAVE to tell the world about this whole exploit, heck they could have reported the exploit directly and gave the world a big middle finger when tis secretly patched, the people who are constantly harassing the people who ARE working on it could have tried some basic tutorials in C and tried it themselves instead of piggybacking on the people they seem to harrass to the point u dont get what u want, then complain because u don't get it like the child inside a toystore with 3 cents to their name..
