Agreed.
I'm not sure how to improve this situation, since I'm no
manager type either.
Money is the only feasible solution IMO. How many people
posting on this forum would quit their job tomorrow and solely
contribute to OSS and/or work on their own projects if money
wasn't an issue? The majority of people don't like being told
what to do, and only want to work on what they're interested
in. The only way to get them to work on something they're not
interested in is to pay them.
As the discussion seed is a post from Mihails, I want to recall
the author [1]:
"Didn't intend to chime in, but no, that was not what I have
meant at all. My stance is that as long as current leadership
remains in charge and keep sames attitude, no amount of money or
developer time will fix D.
What is the point in hiring someone to manage things if Walter
still can do stuff like -dip1000? For me moment of understanding
this was exact point of no return."
What are the opinions on that, specifically on the attitude?
