@s@b0rk yeah, it’s hard. Sometimes people like to receive a patch, sometimes they hate it. The bad outcome is more bad than the good outcome though, so it’s always best to ask first, and asking is cheap
@raggi@s@b0rk intention (and how that intention is perceived) matters a lot, here.
I've def. been that jerk who made a patch just to get rid of the requester. Oft in times of stress.
That intention is bad.
But quite often "a patch says more than a thousand words", where the idea and lesson is best conveyed in an example. I then try to keep it an example, though. Not finished. "Look, this is the idea of dependency injection here. The actual implementation code needs work still"
