    So the fact that not everyone can be a carpenter would become the carpenter’s problem, if I had paid him?

    Huh?

      If you pay the carpenter to make something, he should make what you asked him to.

      If the carpenter makes free stuff out of his own kindness, you don’t get to complain that it isn’t exactly what you asked for.

      Yes. That’s how everything works. If you don’t know how to build a shelf by yourself or don’t have the time, you pay a carpenter to do what you want.

      It’s now the carpenter’s problem to make the shelf with the specifications that you gave him.

        You’re so self-righteous, you’re plowing through stuff without reading what you’re responding to. This isn’t what you said before, and even your clarification makes no sense in context.

        It doesn’t work, anyway. If you can’t build the shelf yourself, what compels the carpenter to make it to your specifications? Even if you paid him? Nothing.

        The trouble is, you insist on framing this in terms of the carpenter’s rights. It’s an impoverished view. No one else is looking at it that way, no one is disputing his rights.

          You’re so self-righteous

          No need for insults.

          what compels the carpenter to make it to your specifications? Even if you paid him? Nothing.

          Violating a contract has penalties. Yes he can ignore it and then give your money back with the potential of being required to give extra money back because of the contract violation.

          The trouble is, you insist on framing this in terms of the carpenter’s rights.

          It wasn’t my analogy. I’m working with what you gave me.

          disputing his rights.

          Demanding he work for free is disputing his rights.

              You don’t want him taking shortcuts with AI. He would need to spend more time working on rsync to make you happy.

                He took shortcuts because he wants to spend time sailing his boat instead.

                I say: Go sail your boat then.

                He would need to spend more time working on rsync to make you happy.

                This is called “putting words in my mouth” and it is the reason you’re an asshole.

                  Rsync is his boat. It’s his hobby. He patched the hole in the boat the way he wanted.

                  Stop posting and hand your username/PW over to someone who will post the way the community wants.
