Yes

None of that requires SAFe, and would be probably be less costly to achieve without SAFe.

I've seen this in non-tech (with tech workers) also.

If you're in India, and you can work out of an office in Hyderabad, shoot me an email (my username at gmail) with your resume/CV, as I'll be interviewing for multiple, full-time employee roles (with an "enterprisey" non-tech company) in the very near future.

Why is enabling Discussions "the wrong move"?

Genuinely curious, as I've gotten help from maintainers using Discussions.

(personal opinion)

Last month we had ~25 code contributors and ~2.32 million users. About 100,000 users per code contributor.

As a user-facing app, rather than 'open source infrastructure', we receive a very large number of support queries from end-users. A significant number of these will be users who are entirely non-technical, or don't speak English at all (looking at my last support efforts, ~20% were non-English + resolved via screenshots, videos + Google Translate).

I'd much rather have our community triage via one of: Forum, Discord, Reddit, StackExchange, Google Play, Mailing List, Twitter, or Facebook Messenger and leave GitHub for code/documentation-level discussions.

Opening up GitHub discussions adds another level of distraction to GitHub notifications, and provides little benefit in return given the existing established support channels.

EDIT: I do have GitHub discussions on other repos, but they're not always suitable.

Yes, this is a good summary of how I feel about discussions too. Non-technical users are going to be more comfortable using non-Github platforms anyway, and for technical users issues or chat are probably a better fit in 95% of cases. Not worth opening an entirely separate forum for.

I've lived in several small towns in upstate New York where it's very common to leave vehicles and dwellings unlocked.

It probably depends.

When I was a (fairly reckless) teenager, I got into a fight and got "stabbed" in my side (minor wound). Honestly, it's not something I consider as traumatic.

It _was_ an effective way to stop the fight though.

I have dogs and love dogs. Play really rough with mine, let her chew on me. I got bit (tooth punctured, not just scratched) by a small white dog. It made me nervous around small dogs for a solid year.

Personally, I enjoy some "back and forth" (interruptions) during a discussion.

Personally, I'll often interrupt when I know someone is wrong about a topic, in the interest of efficiency.

How can you possibly know someone is wrong until you've heard them out?

It's very much worth questioning what your accuracy threshold is before deciding to interrupt.

Maybe they're wrong about a minor detail but have a much better overall plan. Maybe they have some ideas buried under all the mud that are worth the wait.

If the perception of efficiency is always the priority, that will come at the cost of everything else.

It only takes a single sentence sometimes.

Personally, getting up at 5AM would be detrimental, unless I was asleep by 9PM (unlikely).
