It is. We’re what, a week into this exercise? Absolutely everyone criticizing it, with no exceptions, is behaving like a micromanaging middle manager who couldn’t even dream of doing the work themselves.

I half want to start a list of “people to ignore”, but such people tend to expose themselves in every other comment anyway.

Idk the pr author did merge it into main and talked about writing a blog post. To me that sounds like the author felt it was ready for public critique and feedback, especially for software with a fair bit of users

It's not replacing the stable build, and not being claimed as bug-free. "Public critique and feedback" is not meaningful or useful if it just consists of regurgitating what's happening in a more negative and uninformed way.

It may just be different expectations about what the `main` branch means. In my organization we don't merge half-finished work into `main`.

This isn't replacing the Zig stable build at the moment - it would make no sense if it was. It's not unusual to merge separate non-prod functionality to main once something is ready for others to work on.

And realistically, essentially 100% of the people criticizing this don't have the the credentials to do so meaningfully.
