A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Not my experience. It's more like benevolent disinterest when it comes to users who can't hack it on their own. The community is built around devops, functional programmers, as well as the odd enthusiast. Devops love it because it makes their work easier, functional programmer like its semantics and have no issue understanding it, and the odd enthusiast, well, is a hobbyist. If you're not one of those groups you're not catered for, it's as simple as that. And as far as "make things easier for normies" is concerned: Much of that hinges on flakes not just stabilising but everything being switched over to them. The community isn't going to start bending over backwards over features other people want to see, but not build themselves, but once the infrastructure is in place and it's easy, heck, why not.
