Possibly unpopular opinion: You’re not ready for 1.0 until you have a clear, simple update mechanism that aligns with how your users work. That means self-updating capabilities and/or deployment via package managers in most cases.

@clacke @twipped for what it’s worth, I see how you could see those statements as defensive; but the intent was “it was so much worse than just NASA not having maternity leave”, and it seems like others have picked up on that intent on their own.

If people assume bad faith, I suppose they will find it

@clacke @twipped I’m sorry you read a defensive tone there, but that doesn’t make it my intent; given I have repeated clarified what I was going for, and the well known challenges with perception of tone over text, I’m not sure how to interpret your insistence that I must have meant something else?

As for US-centric, yes. I figured that was obvious from context in speaking about US employers and laws, but perhaps not.

@twipped I didn’t miss your point, I agreed with it and added additional context for people who might be reading along and were unaware of it. I apologize if it was taken as conflict or correction — the intent was “yes, and”; that’s not an assumption that you didn’t know, it’s just conversation, where I assumed people (including you) who were aware of this would nod along and those who didn’t know might learn something interesting.

@twipped Jack Black was born in 1969 -- *no one* had maternity leave. It was generally assumed that women who became mothers would leave the workforce, and it was commonplace to simply terminate the employment of a woman who became pregnant (this was entirely legal until 1978!). The fact that NASA didn't just straight up fire her for getting pregnant was fairly progressive for the time.

@Emmaf_77 This ain’t the hell bird site. People here do just hang out and build on conversations to be social; not everything is an argument.
