AP's new video on Ansel

Almost half the video is dedicated to criticizing darktable: from 2:32 to 4:17.

He says “darktable is a group of man-child who get excited about new toys” and “darktable is not a community because a community is a group of people who care about one another” while lacking enough self awareness to realize that for years he was the most toxic person in the community. He talks about having too much free time, but who had almost six years to mostly write code? I guess he is right: it is our fault (particularly mine) for tolerating such poor behavior for so long. Hopefully we’re doing better in that regard now.

But jesus man, at some point you just need to move on. He took something which should be celebratory (16 bugs left and a pending 1.0) and make it about what he always seems to make it about: taking a shit on the people who eventually got sick of his shit.

I’d argue that it doesn’t matter because it is buried behind all his negativity.
