i’m a classicaly trained IT guy, I still call them “Layer 8 issue”
I don’t work on networking but I’ll be adopting this from now on. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Layer_8
I swear, i have read some issues…
So, i sometimes help people who have problems with an android CLI launcher
There is a fucking command called, “help” and when you open the launcher one of the first thing you see is “write help to get a command list”, you write help and you get a list of all commands and there is even a wiki (not complete though) that explain some commands and they STILL ASK “can you add [command that already exist]?”.
So i kinda feel why some people want a skill issue tagI’d say “sure!” Then amaze them with how good and quick I am by telling them an hour or two later to "try it now "
What you describe sounds more like a “competence” issue than a skill issue - can’t have the latter without first having the former.
Open source is free, but empathy is still a good feature.
I’ve seen this on a few repos and it never came across too harsh, the posts tagged with it were deserving. Wish I’d noted the repo names…
I’m fine with it tbh. FOSS devs need to squeeze every bit of enjoyment out of working on the project to keep motivated. If they (or mods) can drop a helpful reply and close an issue as ‘skill issue’ and get a little chuckle while they give their time for free answering poorly-written queries or bad bug reports then that’s a reasonable trade to keep them from burning out.
