Many of us on the list are professional software developers. We have to
balance energy and focus with wanting to contribute to a language we love
to work in. Titles that look like clickbait risk disrupting that focus.
At the end of the day I personally am not trying to spend too much time
assuaging any single person. Professional work means you get a task done
and move to the next. I do appreciate Matz's kindness philosophy as well so
there has to be some sort of balance.
Best to luck to everyone and happy Ruby-ing
