This resistance manifests in several forms, perhaps the most common being the notion that a git repository which doesn’t receive many commits is abandoned or less worthwhile. For my part, I consider software that aims to be completed to be more worthwhile most of the time. There are two sources of change which projects are affected by: external and internal. An internal source of change is, for example, a planned feature, or a discovered bug. External sources of change are, say, when a dependency makes a breaking change and your software has to be updated accordingly. Some projects will necessarily have an indefinite source of external change to consider, often as part of their value proposition. youtube-dl will always evolve to add new sites and workarounds, wlroots will continue to grow to take advantage of new graphics and input hardware features, and so on. diff --git a/content/blog/A-culture-of-stability-and-reliability.md b/content/blog/A-culture-of-stability-and-reliability.md @@ -4,7 +4,7 @@ date: 2021-01-04 outputs: [html, gemtext] --- -There's an idea which encounters a bizzare level of resistance from the broader +There's an idea which encounters a bizarre level of resistance from the broader software community: that software can be completed.
