we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.

"I am going to open source this as soon as it is somewhat production ready".

As esoteric as erlang / elixir are when it comes to mainstream products, the guy claimed it was 70-80% ready. Why not open source it at this point and let others contribute?

It should have been open sourced from the beginning with a good steering committee so that one person couldn't derail it with their personal issues. Instead we pretty much had radium 2.0.

we had a guy who said he'd rewrite the forums from scratch in under six months in his particular flavour of bullshit, by himself, for no money.

this was not ever a viable project and no amount of open sourced steering would have corrected its course into a dumpster

Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?

it was already funny to those of us that saw this train wreck coming. even if he had delivered something, he wouldn't be there to support it and good luck finding another idiot that knows elixir well enough and wants to maintain a bespoke forum for minimum wage.

Just seeing at the end what code he thinks is production ready, and also 50% of a forum, would have been really funny.

I dunno if being able to see the code during the process would really have enhanced the humour though. Probably all the bikeshedding would have driven him off early.
