YMMV. I understand. Everyone feels that way, except maybe Bond villains and robots. My advice in that case is don't take it personally. We're working with a language that's more error prone relative to others. While one would like to believe they are flawless, over time they can't beat the aggregate statistics. A balance between Imposter Syndrome and Dunning Kruger is walked by all software developers, and the fear of making mistakes in public is one of the number one reasons folks don't take the plunge contributing to open source software or even the kernel. My advice to them is "don't sweat the small stuff." -- Thanks, ~Nick Desaulniers _______________________________________________ amd-gfx mailing list amd-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/amd-gfx
