This guy is damned good. I sponsored him on Github because his software is dope. I also like how when some controversy erupted on the project he just ejected the controversial people and moved on. Good stewardship. Great code.

I recall something like when he first ported it and it worked on my M1 Max he hadn't even yet tested it on Apple Silicon since he didn't have the hardware.

Honestly, with this and whisper, I am a huge fan. Good luck to him and the new company.

Do you have more info on the controversy? I'm not sure ejecting developers just because of controversy is honestly good stewardship.

Right. More details needed to know if this is good stewardship (ejecting two toxic individuals) or laziness (ejecting a villain and a hero to get rid of the "problem" easily). TikTok was using this method for a while by ejecting both bullies and victims, and it "solved" the problem but most people see the injustice there.

I'm not saying it was bad stewardship, I honestly don't know. I just agree that we shouldn't make a judgment without more information.

This is SOP for American schools. It's laziness there, since education is supposed to be compulsory. They can't be bothered to investigate (and with today's hostile climate, I don't blame them) so they consign both parties to independent-study programs.

For volunteer projects, throwing both overboard is unfortunate but necessary stewardship. The drama either attracts destabilizes the entire project, which only exists as long as it remains fun for the maintainer. It's tragic, but victims who can't recover gracefully are as toxic as their abusers.

Right, I for one would also prefer it if people who face harassment and hate would just accept it gracefully and move on. I mean, get over yourself, amiright?
