When should a Gnutella Developer be called a Developer? A lot of people want-to-be part of a particular group, it's a status or a belonging thing.
So it's understandable human nature.
Being called a "Gnutella Developer" carries a certian status and respect that is only deserved to those who have done the actual work, in my opinion.
My question is:
If someone talked about making a client, but hasn't ever produced a actual working Gnutella client, would you be able to call them a Gnutella Developer?
On the other hand, if someone had a "pre-release-alpha-testing" version that worked even a little but was never improved, I think that would qualify developer status. Where do you draw the line?
Talk is cheap, writing good working code is hard.
I am just wondering what other people think about this. |
