This is very critical of an open source project that the maintainer didn't even post here?

"Status:

pgrust is not production-ready yet. It is not performance optimized yet."

The maintainer is not suggesting you use this for anything yourself. So why do you care about spf or (lol) his "discipline in creating the project"?

The gp feels like less of a targeted individual criticism & more of a general musing about a trend.

Nobody is saying this author hasn't demonstrated discipline & won't maintain this project, but the statistical averages across most projects fitting this trend make it likely enough to question their worth in aggregate.

Because chances are that it's never going to be production ready, never trustworthy enough to be used by anything serious, and the project will eventually be archived and become at best a (extremely inefficient) learning experience for the author, or at worst a total waste of tokens. I could be completely wrong about this specific project, but most of these projects are like that, and statistics don't lie.

The author is free to ignore any and all complaints they consider unfounded. It’s not even like the author is recieving any complaints personally; they have to come here to see any. And if they come here, they will get to read the viewpoint visible from here.

But this is also just silly. The maintainer here did nothing (just a little chat here and there), but is sure that only optimizations are missing for this to be production-ready. How so, based on what exactly?

People on HN love complaining at any given moment.

I’d wager most of these people don’t really produce much and are constantly bikeshedding.
