RE: HF20: Why STEEM software development process is broken and why to fix it NOW!
Hardfork 20 is by far the most traumatic release for me ever and maybe for you.
No. By far, HF17/18 was more disruptive.
There is always something worst right? Are you stating that we should be happy because HF20 is not the worst of all time?

That's one of those annoying follow bots. It was (probably) going to follow every single account on the blockchain. RC limited them to 38. They could start up again, but haven't.
That's what the RC system was designed to do and it's working. Yes, there's a little bit of pain now while RC gets up and running, but a yuge benefit in the long-run.
Yes, I'm very happy with HF20.
It would be a shame to not have that past of HF20 working, my protest is against its unexpected (yet preventable) consequences! And I'm not talking nonsense, I'm just demanding to have witnesses that require STINC to follow industry standards. Is that too much to ask?
@inertia indeed, software industry is one of the most innovative ones ever and it is full of projects doing things never done before, which is key for market disruption. Yet, that isn't an excuse to avoid the well established industry standards, nor to communicate effectively in regards of the risks involved. So you cant cover up the sun with one finger, STINC should fix its mess before it is too late.
I'm sure you're referring to well established coding practices when you mention "follow industry standards." It's just a funny phrase to use in this context, where we're literally doing something that's never been done: develop a decentralized, no-fee, stake-based, content platform that is regulated by delegated proof of stake.
You know what I mean? What industry standards?
I know, you mean code review, full specifications, and such. But what do we check those against?
So yes, we should demand more from all of the witnesses and Steemit, Inc., but we should temper that demand with the understanding that this has never been done before, certainly not on this scale.
