been thinking about my approach to saying critical things about open source projects
I'm always trying to balance 2 things:
1. I want other users to know that if they're struggling, it's not because they're dumb. There are real problems.
2. I don't want to downplay the work people are doing to make it better.
this has been coming up a lot with Nix, which I find useful but incredibly difficult to use
(no advice please, but curious to hear what your personal approach to this is)
(1/?)
