No, your comment does not deserve better. It’s a shallow dismissal of a concept that has absolutely nothing to do with who wrote it or sponsored it.


What "concept" did I shallowly dismiss?


The cli tool as it relates to making Jira easier to use.

There are a thousand places on HN to talk about Reddit and its recent issues, so making every submission about that is tedious.


Could you please quote where I shallowly dismissed the CLI tool as it relates to making Jira easier to use? I don't think I've done so, as I haven't talked about the CLI tool in any way, I only ever talked about contributions to the CLI tool.


> Anyone thinking about contributing to this project should keep in mind that it is under Reddits control. You will effectively be donating your time to a company that treats its users and partners very poorly.

This undermines the submission by reducing all tech to "Does Reddit control it? Then it's bad."


Do you notice how the part you quoted doesn't contain me shallowly dismissing the CLI tool as it relates to making Jira easier to use? How it contains a completely different point? You did just switch your complaint (from me dismissing a concept to me undermining the submission), so I think you noticed.

> This undermines the submission by reducing all tech to "Does Reddit control it? Then it's bad."

I also did not reduce it to that, as I didn't state anything about the tech. I only stated something about contributions to the tech. It's fine for me if you want to interpret this in the way you did, but trying to silence me because you don't like what you interpreted into what I wrote is a pretty strange thing to do. Just move on, and if you really want to, downvote me.

Otherwise your comment chain is much more non-productive than my original comment could be, since it doesn't even relate to what I wrote, only to what you think I meant.


Eh, agree to disagree then. In my view, calling out Reddit as the owner and claiming they’re “bad” is a shallow dismissal. You clearly disagree, but that doesn’t make you right.

And “you calling me out is the real problem” just seems not well thought out. So in your view nobody should disagree with you, most of all when you’re acting poorly? That’s convenient.


> In my view, calling out Reddit as the owner and claiming they’re “bad” is a shallow dismissal.

If this were in any way an accurate representation of what I wrote, I might agree with you. But it's another misrepresentation. Could you please stop with that? I did not claim Reddit is bad, and I didn't call out Reddit as the owner to dismiss the project, I specifically and only talked about contributions to the project.

> And “you calling me out is the real problem” just seems not well thought out. So in your view nobody should disagree with you, most of all when you’re acting poorly? That’s convenient.

Aaaand the next mis-representation (if I counted correctly, this is your sixth! Wow!). I did not claim at any point that nobody should disagree with me. But if you disagree with me, please engage with what I write and say, not with what you want me to have said. You keep talking about how I am shallowly dismissing this thing while completely and utterly misunderstanding or misrepresenting my position. This means that this whole discussion chain, as well as every following attempt of yours to misrepresent my position, is off topic. Even if someone were to agree with you that my initial position is a shallow dismissal, they'd have to admit that it's at least on topic.

Just take what I write in good faith instead of repeatedly putting words into my mouth.


Sorry but no, I don't think it was a relevant or insightful comment about the quality of the cli tool or even Jira in general.

One reason I have for thinking this way is that you call me disagreeing with you as "misinterpretation" rather than what it is: someone who has all of the facts, an understanding of the situation, and who is arriving at a different conclusion than you.

It's clearly important to you that I don't understand what you said, rather than disagree with it.


And now we've arrived at you misrepresenting my claims about you misrepresenting my claims. It's clear this is going nowhere and I will stop wasting my time now. In the future, please try to engage with what people write, or don't engage (at least with me). If you read back on our conversation, you'll see that you did not lose a single word about "contributions", which was my whole point the whole time.


No, we haven't. Nothing is misinterpreted here, we just disagree. That's okay! But call it what it is...


Seems like companies now think re-earning goodwill involves releasing open source tools (Microsoft with VSCode, Meta with Llama.)

So a simple jira wrapper seems par for the course for a company like Reddit to release and expect it to help their image.
