Tell us the engine, about what you're working on, some
gnarly problem you've solved, or something cool.
Walter's a contributor to this open source project like
anyone else. He's going to give talks on whatever strikes his
interest at the time. If he was a CEO with a 7-figure salary
like Mitchell Baker, things would be different.
Hes not like everyone else he's...
"Walter bright creator of the D Programming Language"
That means he's contributed a lot in the past, so he has more
freedom, not less, in choosing what to talk about.
I have never once said he cant talk about whatever he wants to,
I've explicitly said the opposite. All I said is that by virtue
of who he is has more interesting things to talk about than
whether "enum { yes, no }" is a good idea or not.
Your post is an example of a contribution tax. Those that do
the most work on a project are held to a higher standard than
everyone else, and they are the ones most open to criticism,
including public criticism. It's one reason productive
contributors leave open source projects, and why many people
turn down leadership positions.
Maybe we should hold people to lower standards the higher up they
get and see how that works out?
tshare/1.0 a fast way to share file using transfer.sh
I've just released a simple tool for sharing files (similar to WeTransfer) directly from the terminal. Usage is incredibly straightforward: Run ```dub build tshare``` to build the tool. Use ```tshare /your/file``` to share your file, which will generate a public link. For additional options, you can explore by running tshare -h.

"Walter bright creator of the D Programming Language" Yes he can do what he likes, nobody has the right to demand anything from him. But his position and experience and knowledge is such that him doing a talk on coding guidelines is disappointing.

I do intend to get pick it up again down the road, but Walter recently surprised me with plans of his own. He's taken the topic of his DConf '23 talk and derived a blog post from it: https://dlang.org/blog/2023/10/02/crafting-self-evident-code-with-d/ I guess he got impatient with the pace at which I'm getting the talk videos uploaded :-) And for anyone who'd like to engage in any Reddit discussion that comes up: https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/16y2h36/crafting_selfevident_code_in_dlang/ I personally found this talk very disappointing.
