Honestly the belief of the developers don’t matter at the end of the day. The quality of code is the only thing who matters.

And I don’t imply the quality of code is good or not, I have no idea.

discuss

order

Projects of this size cannot be a one man show. So the ability of collaborators to cooperate matters greatly.

Having a controversial reputation in leader is not always a bad thing, look at Theo De Raadt or Linus Totvald. It’s seem to have already attracted contributors, but let’s see how all of this goes in the next’s months.

From authors commits to x11 and discussions about that, looks like code was not great.

It’s more a criticism of breaking certain things, which is inevitable when your try to refactor something. The matter is in the end if the behavior remain the same when you finish.

But it’s just a supposition at this stage, let’s see on the next’s month if it a complete mess or if it’s the XFree86 to Xorg transition

founders beliefs are garbage

Well it's the code that matters. Not what their beliefs are.

code is also garbage

Well it's the thought that's important.

And then I recall that experiment in which an LLM trained to spew out garbage insecure code started to behave like a garbage insecure edgelord personality too.

Guess "you can't have one without the other".

i don't know about you, but i generally do not want to work with people whose political beliefs include that my country is illegitimate or that hitler's rise to power was caused by the polish and the british doing bad things to the germans.
