letting more people help with Kbin development.
…
Why not getting some help? I know that Ernest already said he has a problem trusting people, but
Why has Ernest insisted on being the only developer to work on this? This creates a potential “single point of failure” situation.
I understand the desire to keep kbin a solo project in order to maintain control over it, but if this is going to see any success in the long term, then there needs to be a team.
come up in almost all threads about KBin’s performance. At the time I just read them as nincompoops being whiners.
In hindsight does remind one a bit of similar social pressure leveled against Lasse Collin, does it not?
Not saying people are trying to backdoor this place or anything. The similarity just seemed worth pointing out.
And he’s burning out. And more maintainers would be even better.
Yes, it’s similar, but every one-man project with real-world use is similar in that regard.
And he’s burning out.
I have seen no evidence of that. Also not the point of this thread.
I’m not going to pick through his last year’s posts and make a diagnosis, but if you’ve seen no evidence of that, I think you’re wilfully ignoring the signs.

Ok, I’ll continue “ignoring” evidence you can’t even describe (“He talked somewhere about…”), much less cite.
For all we know his frequent absence is down to a great work-life balance on his part.
Irrespective this thread is not about who is or is not burnt out, it’s about how posts like your are what enabled the xz backdoor to happen.
I used it as a support to my argument, so, it’s relevant. No evidence, you say… I don’t want to talk too much about someone’s health issue. Just believe what you believe. I don’t think you can change your view through online discussion.
