<p>I’ve told LF (and others) repeatedly that “education” as the leading point is insulting. Many maintainers know exactly what they need to do, but they lack time and energy for it. Lecturing them, I mean “giving them skills”, is… rarely the need or solution.</p><p>But “education” allows LF (and friends like GH) to continue elephant-in-the-room-ing the actual solution, which is paying maintainers for the trillions of dollars of value they create.</p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@donmccurdy/113512775802077660" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">fosstodon.org/@donmccurdy/1135</span><span class="invisible">12775802077660</span></a></p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://donotsta.re/users/mei" class="u-url mention">@<span>mei</span></a></span> during the most of my involvement with ocaml, there were way too fucking many build systems (something like 12 at the peak? it was infuriating); since then basically everyone standardized on dune, which interoperates with opam. i think ocamlfind may also be involved somewhere in the middle, but that may have changed since last time i touched this stuff</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://donotsta.re/users/mei" class="u-url mention">@<span>mei</span></a></span> dune is the build system, opam is the package manager</p><p>like... dune is cmake, opam is apt. does this help?</p>

<p>&quot;In 1935, the name estradiol and the term estrogen were formally established by the Sex Hormone Committee of the Health Organization of the League of Nations&quot; is certainly a sentence</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://donotsta.re/users/mei" class="u-url mention">@<span>mei</span></a></span> i think opam and coq are a particularly bad combination (coq is fucking weird and i don&#39;t like talking about it); wanna try using opam in a non-coq context? i know it quite well and can answer questions</p>
