This is correct. Fortunately, I have other means to build my
credibility. The occasions when I find it necessary to clue list
members in on their attitude problems are rare, and I'm trying my
best to hold back and be constructive.
Throwing suggestions about and discussing them helps
As long as the suggestions are not supported by running code, I
beg to disagree. The constructive side is: go write the code,
then show how it works and how it could improves things. It is a
killer argument.
It seems Wikipedia has had performance problems in the last days,
and we should expect a new flood of the usual "let's write it in
C++ instead" and "it would run faster with PostgreSQL". We need
to tell this general cluelessness apart from actual experience.
