Wouldn't it make more of a positive change in the world if you went and did something useful instead of posting snarky comments on Hacker News?

I've been writing an open source DAW for 25 or more years. Every time I see somebody else working on their own new open source DAW or DAW-adjacent project, I find myself wondering whether it would be a better or worse thing if they put their efforts into our already-existing project.
