I have had too many times where I have been confused trying to figure out a giant nested loop because the writer used i/j/k or x/y/z. It’s even worse when they confused when a particular bug is because they confused what their single letter variables were and used j somewhere instead of i and no one caught it because it is so easy to brush over. Name your stuff what it is, make your life easier, make others lives easier.
I decided a while ago that I don’t think his complaints are a big deal to me, especially because he said he had no plans to develop a lemmy client of his own, which I would have happily supported.
After his experience with Reddit, I would have thought he would support anything that helped users leave the platform, and if that transition is made easier by a very similar app that doesn’t compete with anything he makes, why complain?
That’s just my take on it, others can feel differently.
I would have probably dropped lemmy because I couldn’t find a client that I liked until I came across the early versions of voyager/wefwef.
