And here I am anxious thinking I might offend the devs so I spend way too much time thinking what I've written is not rude
I've only had beef with a single dev ever. The maintainer of Prometheus, Brian Brazil, or whatever his name is. His attitude is so shitty towards people proposing actually good ideas that would push his product forward.
Yeah, I had the same experience with the devs of Pushbullet, after constructively suggesting a few ways they might be able to work with proxy servers, and all I got back was "Proxies are bad, mmmmk?".
Fucken Peter Pan-level mentality.
Proxies aren’t bad they are just dated.
Ironically the big problem with proxies is really that software doesn’t support them properly, usually due to lazy or unknowing devs.
