Why PyPI is simply because that’s what’s accessible. I’d love to see an analysis of corporate codebases. If anyone has access to those, they can use my script - see the PEP for details.

That’s a good question, which was raised in the discussion. I repeated the analysis on a random selection of PyPI packages, and found that the incidence rate was double - about 4 per million LOC. so you are right that high quality code is less impacted, but not by orders of magnitude.

“Joyful” is something we’re supposed to value now in a presidential candidate?

One of the criticisms against her was that she constantly laughed as the world burned on her watch.

Sure, my point is I rarely look at codeowners/experts (I do that when I am actively looking for help). It’s possible that someone was unaware of a relatively recent codeowners addition.

We had some discussions in the past about ‘codeowner’ being a misleading term here. The intention is that the person offers to resolve issues, not that they actually own the code.

I tag people when I need their input. If I can handle an issue myself I don’t bother them. I don’t tag as recognition.

Can you be more specific about what happened? Who did you expect to tag you, and on what? What does recognition as maintainer mean?

I would be interested to know what they mean by ‘Python is a poor investment’. Learning python? Building systems in Python? Working on Python?

Do they have a point? If they don’t then I’d disagree, but I wouldn’t feel angry or offended. Why should I?

You have unlimited data, so you can always get the email to let you know that you've run out.
