> I can't stop thinking that LP writes things for his own world and leave it there when he's "satisfied" with it; even if it means shit for the rest. Which means the issue is that he shouldn't be in charge of socially impactful components.
Unless you have examples of solid patches fixing these kind of problems that he rejected, this is a significantly unfair statement.
Fair point, he's not the only coder in his projects, and maybe it's unfair social response that influence me, but his projects always rub people the wrong way, even though they carry brilliant useful ideas. Also if the overall design impede fixing without too much hassle ..
He seems to suffer from massive ego. He always assumes that if his stuff is failing, it’s somehow someone else’s fault, and refuses to acknowledge fault even when evidence is presented.
At least that’s what’s been apparent to me from the things that I’ve read by him and about him.
He often has a lot of good points, but it's not enough when assuming a pivotal role in society. You cannot just be right 60% of the time, because 40% people leftover is far too much. It's saddenning for instance, PA had valueable goals, but if the design assumes hardware that doesn't exist (exagerating) then it's not a good fit for a standard audio stack.
And I'm not sure it's really ego.. I'd rate him at about 0.07geohots.
