Don't be that guy.
(lemmy.world)
When you're talking to an open source dev, just remember that they are literally giving you their time for free, and they are people who don't like to be treated poorly.
Edit: Just to be clear, I don’t mean any ill will toward the guy. He’s frustrated and he’s just taking it out in the wrong venue at the wrong people, but that doesn’t mean he’s a bad person.
Edit 2: The reinstalling he’s talking about is NPM. So just running npm install. It’s because he tried removing the node_modules directory, which is a reasonable thing to do, but it means you need to reinstall the modules with that command.
Don’t be that second guy, use Nix.
I agree with OP, but the whole confrontation could’ve been avoided in the first place if all dependencies were spelled out to the letter in the form of a flake.nix with the latest accompanying flake.lock file.
I swear Nix users are the mormons of the Linux world.
They're worse than us Arch users (btw)
As a former arch user, I advocate for both XD
Yes
I’m a nix user and I’m disappointed by how apt this comparison is.
ehehehe you said "apt"
Did you get it?
I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE KIND SIR I DID GET YOUR SUBTLE REFERENCE
Yes, but one of our promises is real... Just a real pain in the ass sometimes.
Are you saying that I will get my own planet if I use Nix?
Guilty. But substitute Mormonism with the proper way to do things.
That just sounds like Amish with more tech.
🤣 Perfect!
