Yes, it's a pity that the first non-+1-yay-cheer-post is put down like this. Instead of carefully listening to someone having an alternative viewpoint and having a healthy debate. I want to thank you Daniel for sending your initial post. I more or less felt the same way (and no, not because of some personal incident or anything like that), but didn't have the energy / courage to send that first "hmmm, I don't quite agree" mail. After your mail I felt the bar was low enough for me to also send in my opinion. Little did I expect the opposing viewpoint(s) to be burned down like this. Anyway: I don't want to stand in anyone's way either, so "do what you cannot resist". I happen not to like such badges, but I guess some people do. But please, like Rich also said, don't take it too seriously. Don't make resume builders out of it. I wouldn't like people to be waving with their badges just to emphasize that their opinion has so much more weight or something like that. Also, if you're talking about number of PR's, patches, LOC, commits, mails, whatever ... I'm not a big fan of such metrics, period. Of course I applaud people doing lots of visible quality work with big code changes or doc / website changes or ..., that's fantastic; but I really take my hat off for the single-line change that fixes a hard-to-reproduce, incredibly annoying heisenbug that took someone two months to pinpoint, and that no one of the big-churn-developers wanted to dig his teeth in. Visible, measurable change: 1 LOC -- effect: gigantic. -- Johan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@community.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@community.apache.org
