    I think the main complaint is “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”.

    I like the old UI. I had no complaints. So why change it? So much developer expense for zero user benefit.

    I used that one revert Gist that NTTS talked about and it’s been the same as always ever since. If Discord makes an update that removes the old UI then I’ll use an old version until they absolutely force me. I will not voluntarily use the new UI, because I think it’s not as good, and that’s it.

    I want to like Forgejo but the name is really terrible.

    Is it “forj-joe”? Nah, that double-J sound is way too awkward.
    Do you then merge the J sounds to make “forjo”? If so, why not just call it that?
    Is it maybe “for-geh-joe”? That seems the most likely to me, but then that ignores the “build < forge” marketing on their website.

    I know it’s pretty inconsequential, but it feels weird using a tool that you don’t even know how to pronounce the name of.

    It’s rather about changing things randomly.

    I do this all the time when working with transformations (in personal projects). I know I need to take into account these 5 variables but I’m not sure exactly how they all fit together, and I really don’t want to get a pen and paper out, so I just shuffle things and their operators about until it works or I get bored and do something else.

    I would say finding that the bug is in a library is worse than finding it in your own code.

    If it’s your own code, you just fix it.

    If it’s in a library you then have to go and search for issues. If there isn’t one, you then go and spend time making one and potentially preparing a minimum reproducible example. Or if you don’t do that (or it’s just unmaintained) then you have to consider downgrading to a version that doesn’t have the bug and potentially losing functionality, or even switching to another library entirely and consequently rewriting all your code that used the old one to work with the new one.

    Yeah, I’d take my own bugs over library bugs any day.
