Hi Stewart, Profpatsch is actually being quite courteous by politely pointing out that your message fails to be relevant to nix-dev, instead of ignoring you, like the rest of us do. Look at it this way: Your sending a simple mail to this list potentially bumps the hard-earned inbox-zero of _hundreds_ of people, all of which signed up for the express purpose of keeping up with Nix and NixOS development. By diluting relevant content in this list, you make it more likely for people to disengage, thus draining the very lifeblood of the community. For this reason, it is unacceptable in any community I can think of, to post job-offers to the dev list, let alone unpaid ones, let alone in long-winded page-turners. There are many, more appropriate places for such offers, including #nixos and /r/NixOS/ I get that you're excited about your project and want to see it grow (just the same as all of us feel about our pet projects) and I'm sorry for wording this message so sharply. It's just, I've seen you repeatedly demonstrate having trouble adjusting to community norms on this list. That in and of itself is forgiveable, many hackers share that trait, including myself. Though, when called on it, you could take a course of backing off politely in the future, instead of laying blame on everybody else. kind regards
