But hey, have you ever tried Databag ? Your family might get a better user experience with this one.

I asked @prologic and got no answer, but I wonder if there is admin-only tool built-in on Yarn, that allows the admin to search which user(s) follow a certain feed (for moderation purposes, or otherwise).

This mindset _might_ come from today's kids who can build stuff only with gazillions of dependencies. And plenty of these suck, are full of bugs, vulnerabilities and bad code in general. So they have to be patched constantly. If one is always surrounded by that, it just feels normal. One might even come to the conclusion that it simply has to naturally be that way. And then, the incorrect deduction is that the project is abandoned, once there are no new commits in a week. It maybe doesn't occur to these people that it is actually possible to work out differently.
To be fair, there is also a lot of unfinished and truly dead code out there. So that assures their theory even further, once they stumble across one of those projects.
And the same doesn't only happen to private projects. All enterprise software systems also pull in so much stuff, that there is always something to update.
The lack of proper planning, just building and delivering buggy banana software in cycles and the mindset of shipping fast and often and doing things agile in general does not do this any favor. It just feels like today's sofware is never ever finished. And if it finally reaches such a point, it must be dead.
I know of some otherwise reeeeaaaaally great software developers who also think that way. I don't understand why they disagree with us here. :-?
The overcrowded train was run by GoAhead, the S-Bahn by DB. They're interchangeably bad.
Over fifty kilometers is a very long bike ride. That at least doubles my commute to more than six hours in total. No, thanks. ;-)
> Then there comes in feature creep.
This is driving me nuts. Everybody thinks that “development has to be kept alive!” When people see a project without commits in the last 2 years, they think it’s dead and not worth using. Bah, why? Software can be “done”. If no bugs are known, then there’s no need to change anything.
All these ideas are old. I’ve heard about much of this from meillo some 15 years ago and he didn’t come up with it, either.
It’s all super unpopular. Why? Many of my projects see a burst of commits in the beginning and then mostly just maintenance – and that’s great. It saves me from so much trouble and work. For example, my X11 wallpaper setter was written in 2017, I’m using it daily all the time, it just works, boom, done.
A project isn’t dead if it doesn’t see commits anymore – it’s dead if nobody *maintains* it anymore.

I guess it’s irrelevant which platform I’m going to propose as an alternative to WhatsApp. It’s the same old problem: Almost all their contacts are on WhatsApp, so that’s what they want to use, end of story.

I had some pleasant experiences with public transportation lately, but that wasn’t Deutsche Bahn.
Would a bike or an ebike be an alternative for you? 🤔

To make it better, throwing things away and starting over with the newly aquired knowledge would be the right thing to do. But that doesn't happen for a myriad of reasons. So you ended up with overly complex stuff.
A bit like building a prototype and keeping it alive forever. "Denn nichts hält länger als ein Provisorium." – "Nothing is more definitive than the temporary."
Then there comes in feature creep. And preliminary optim^Wfeatures, "hey, maybe somebody would like to bla in the future, let's add this".
Well, when I was waiting for my train home on the station platform. I didn't recognize that it was Acca Dacca, and I tried hard. In fact, the stage was 500 meters away, so it was just some music-like sound that found its way into my ears. Still kinda cool to know that I heard them live.
I had a barbie with my old workmates. That's why I have a story to tell now. On the way there, the train was hopelessly overcrowded with AC/DC fans. You couldn't fall down, simply impossible. It was like in the videos of Japanese subways, where guards press in passengers to utilize every square centimeter. At later stations, plenty of people didn't get in. Not a chance. This caused quite some delays. And boy, was it hot in there. Streams of sweat running down everywhere.
Originally, I wanted to meet up with a workmate in a city train for the second part of the trip. Due to a signal failure, his train was delayed, though. It got delayed even more and more and was finally cancelled altogether. I eventually got my connecting train while he was still stuck and decided to abort mission and go home after 40 minutes. Catching my connection was another adventure. It was rerouted to another platform, of course without announcement. Because why would you? Fuck the passengers! Luckily, I noticed that it took a different branch at the switch on arrival and ran down and up the stairs to the other platform. The delay counter in this train showed 40 minutes when I finally got off.
With the exception of Acca Dacca, the way home was pleasantly uneventful. Just a few minutes delay and a relatively low passenger volume.
I'm so grateful for not having to experience all this shit on a daily basis anymore. Not looking forward to the next time I have to go into the city. Not at all.

Very few people do take pride in building simple, elegant, high-quality systems, do they? Why is that? Why are huge shiny things with tons of features more attractive? 🤔
I never explicitly thought about this, to be honest. It was only at the back of my head. And I never tried to teach our younger “students” at work: “Hey, it’s a great achievement to build something simple and elegant. That’s something to be proud of!”
Worse, simple software is often described as “boring”. Yes, in a way, it is boring, because your brain doesn’t have to get into overdrive to understand it. But that’s exactly the point. And it’s *hard to achieve that*! Simple software isn’t just “fewer lines of code”, you have to be pretty clever to solve a problem in a simple and elegant way. So it’s something to be proud of.
Could this be an intuitive, *emotional* way to get more people on board the “simple software”-train? 🤔

Focus on quality, focus on “doing it right”, make that your primary goal. And everything else shall fall into place.
If it only were that simple. 🫤😅

But you're right, yarnd has potential for improvement, too (what doesn't?). Rest assured, there are several universes between the two. And yarnd is lightyears ahead.
