It’s refreshing to see this as the top comment on a forum where we are often guilty of this mentality.
I notice that this mentality isn’t as common in circles of people with their nose to the grindstone building things.
Right now I have some game modding Discord servers in mind where everyone has crappy tools but is focused on building things regardless, and complaining about the state of things just feels trite, as if the entire ecosystem is responding “Ok, in Utopia things are better, but what are you building today?”
For some reason people confuse sour grapes with some sort of high brow eureka they need to dump onto the world.
