"If you aren't a programmer, don't speak" is about what I expect from programmers, yes. That kind of elitism is why most programmer-only projects are utter shit.
This is even worse tbh, because, as someone else pointed out, the YouTuber is a programmer. This is saying “only write code, don’t discuss what kinds of changes are needed.”
That + the “commit a pull request” nonsense (you submit a pull request, which comprises commits; the PR only gets committed when it’s been reviewed and merged by a maintainer) makes me doubt that the commenter you replied to has ever collaborated productively on a software project.
Well, MVG is an experienced programmer, especially with emulation and homebrews, so he knows what he’s talking about.
