Re: An IRC bot called Peanuts

[Juliana Sims <juli@incana.org>]

Hi Felix,

Firstly, I feel this person could and should have expressed their 
frustration in a more polite way. I'm sorry someone has taken to using 
such fierce and critical language for something you've worked on. I 
hope that you're not too hurt by their rudeness.

Secondly, I quite like peanuts. It's handy to get an idea of where a 
link will take me before being taken there (and potentially 
misunderstanding a link or wasting my time waiting on a page to load 
just to find out what an uninformative URL points to), and it's handy 
to have references to Guix issue and patch numbers automatically turned 
into links to those issues and patches.

As a final note, for the rest of the folks reading guix-devel: please 
don't cuss at people about their work, nor use ableist insults to 
describe it, please (nor do those things *at people themselves*, though 
I trust y'all to know better than that already). Criticism is good and 
should be couched in polite, ideally positive terms (eg "I find peanuts 
annoying; could you reduce or eliminate its output?" would have been a 
better approach).

All the best,
Juli
