Calling a developer an asshole for me is a metaphor that does not work, a jerk would be OK, but an asshole- no- I refuse to accept asshole as a pejorative word.Īs far as I know sledgehammer999 ( SourceForge profile, GitHub profile) is currently the leading developer of qBittorrent. So I disagree that 'asshole' can have a negative connotation.

One will fully understand how magnificent the asshole is after a prolonged period of constipation. feature bounties, especially on open source projects where it's not unheard of for someone to get paid to fork an entire project.Īsshole, like any other body part, is wonderful. As such, I have no issue with devs asking for money in exchange for project focus a.k.a. I'll certainly take suggestions on my work as moderator, but if you don't like how I'm spending my free time *shrug*. For myself, I want to get paid for work that's outside of my personal interest and free time.

I think it's non-simple to implement and there's plenty of other issues (github shows over 2,000 submissions) to address.Īs to distaste that developers are asking for money, I have a hard time applying that logic. I wouldn't characterize it as coming from an asshole (stisev's words) or that they hate portability. I looked through the discussion shnbwmn posted and the one where stisev makes a case for portability.
