EDIT: I don’t like the term ‘soy boy’, just picked ‘soydev’ for a lack of a better word, intending to use it semi-ironically.

recently I saw a project move PR discussions to discord, like what’s the point of using a git forge at this point, you can as well just use git send-email

    I think it’s reasonable if the users are given the ability to fill in bug reports via discord and then that gets forwarded to a git forge via some bot so that they don’t have to deal with setting up an account on said forge. But if discord is the primary tool for such tasks then it’s kinda messy, like trying to idk, replace pliers with scissors, or trying to use a ruler to cut things. Technically you can and it might work, but we created specialized tools for various tasks for a reason, why try to make the tools we use like jacks of all trades and masters of none?
