The dubious distinction of being the most loved to be hated
I look often at posts of my favourite authors and see so much more big votes. It is not that my stuff does not deserve it. But rather, that because I take no prisoners, the big votes, even, are afraid to be associated with me.
A bad thing in a popularity contest. A benefit when functional code is the votable material... Watch the coders flock once we punch out the alpha of the DIV core.
Any idea when steemit is planning launch the alpha? been more than a year ...
I think you mean 'Release Candidate'. Yeah, I wonder when it's going to happen also. Steemit means Steemit Condenser, btw, up the top left there. It's still beta grade... Alpha comes before beta, beta is pre-release, and then you have release. This is the convention in software development. (there is other ones too like odd versions usually also mean unstable and even ones the devs are supposed to aim to squash all pending issues before they can mark it with an even subversion.
Being in a similar position, I fail to be popular also, way too real.
I am so looking forward to DIV. Several months ago, when you talked about your new projects,
it really piqued my interest. I support you and your efforts.
Thanks :) Yes, it's going to be a relatively small group of the most oddball people in distributed systems activism, that start this. But this is better than a bunch of graspy, elitist, anti-newbie cynics like plague most projects out there.
I can't wait until I'm fully rested and recovered and back in action.
A small group works fine if all are vocused on the same intent. Rest, recover and be well.
Also, I enjoy and learn from your diet and nootropics information.
I appreciate your knowledge an insights.
