Comments on: There is no directive https://j11y.io/general/there-is-no-directive/ Sun, 22 Mar 2015 15:39:22 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.0.13 By: Just David https://j11y.io/general/there-is-no-directive/#comment-2673 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 19:18:11 +0000 https://j11y.io/?p=2382#comment-2673 Thanks for this perspective. I have strongly held myself to a standard of furthering human knowledge. The result? Zero output. Now I’m getting old, and I do what I do for my kids. When they present me with their original solution to a simple problem, I ask them to ‘help me’ with another ‘problem’ which further challenges their skills. When I get up the guts to share my coding, I hope for this kind of reception, but like I said, I’m getting old, and insensitivity mostly bounces off.

Someone who shares their solutions is helping the community, one way or the other either by providing a solution to an existing problem or by engaging others to follow their approach and do their part in helping the community.
As Val said, haters gonna hate, but this shouldn’t stop anyone from trying to help others.

As a person who frequently wrestles with the hall of mirrors like array of my former, more foolish selves, you articulate the problem well–in a way that is not judgmental; so, thanks.

We learn by creating. No one should ever be discouraged from doing so.

😀 Just kidding! But really, don’t take them too seriously.

Unfortunately there’s little correlation between been a rock star developer, well known in the community, and being a nice person.

I mean, everyone knows how much of an asshole Linus Torvalds is, right?
And, to stick to our field, what about the Doug?

So… who cares: haters gonna hate! 😀
