Since the debugger is improving we will see if we can avoid to produce
an obsolete lecture that people will
use for 5 years. I should discuss with damien and luc.
But it means that it should be stable by monday or at maximum tuesday
because we will have to redo
the slides. Now luckily we postponed redoing 15 videos we should (re)do
to show how to code in Pharo
(for the record doing such videos of 5 min takes 3 hours minimum to do,
cut and process).
Now I would like that we consider that I gave feedback on the icons two
years ago and the net result
was that during two years nothing changed. So I'm happy to see feedback
getting listened because
I often got the impression in the past that I should learn how to use
tools instead of having tools
that work for me (remember the discussion about playground and where we
have to explain why the result of
a printString should not only be in a popup!)
Sometimes I hate that people teachs me how I should work because I often
go faster my way.

Hi
if GTdebugger becomes the default debugger it means that our mooc will
be already obsolete before getting finished.
It means that we will be forced to
have separate installers
different web pages explaining not to use Pharo 50 but a strange
version
it means that people will report bugs on a different system
And we will have to spent time on that instead of the rest.
And we will really thank the Pharo community for its great vision and
care about our effort.
This is more than 6 months that we are working on it and we have
problably yet another month of work.
Now just writing this makes me sick.
So if the only respect about the work of other people is like that
then I will just think a lot about my
engagement. If this happens I can tell you that you will have a hard
time to ask me to put energy into
pharo in the future.
Now if this makes you feel easy you can think that I'm tired. This
poor stephane is working too much and
is overacting. Think that if this helps you to feel good. Really.
Now what pissed me off the most is that I'm **TEACHING** to L2 L3 and
M1 students
This year I was teaching to
Prague
Annecy
Lviv
Lome
Dakar
Saint louis
Yaounde
and when I say that the student are afraid by the default debugger,
they are afraid also by
a more complex one. Who among the people deciding to not put this
debugger by default
can show me that he did one lecture on newbies over the last two
years? For real?
So be right and go ahead: because you know what is good for the end
programmer.
I asked five times to understand who need _thisContext and _stakc top
and so far I got zero answer.
It will help me to take a break from Pharo.

PS: I 'm not in the Pharo board anymore because I have to do something
else
