Feel free to commit a pull request. Don't talk about it. Be about it.
The creator of this video is an emulator developer.
And?
that means they are about it.
Lol this is the best interaction. Props.
TBD. Apparently he's not happy about the state of things. Not just his project, but the development community as a whole hasn't been able to nail it down.
so you didn't watch the video.
I sure did
"If you aren't a programmer, don't speak" is about what I expect from programmers, yes. That kind of elitism is why most programmer-only projects are utter shit.
This is even worse tbh, because, as someone else pointed out, the YouTuber is a programmer. This is saying “only write code, don’t discuss what kinds of changes are needed.”
That + the “commit a pull request” nonsense (you submit a pull request, which comprises commits; the PR only gets committed when it’s been reviewed and merged by a maintainer) makes me doubt that the commenter you replied to has ever collaborated productively on a software project.
Well, MVG is an experienced programmer, especially with emulation and homebrews, so he knows what he’s talking about.
