I think this is a factor of putting one's self out there. I've had this happen on ML projects I've put out too, though being hyper-engaged in trying to thoughtfully respond to all (or as many as possible of) the comments section for me has seemed to lower negativity a bit just because it brings up the 'person-in-the-room' effect up to an online audience...at least, so I think! :D

I thought it was a great post and manky kudos to the author for putting themselves out like that! I really appreciated this and any work that does this kind of effort in onboarding people and giving people tools to understand something well really I think has some of the most long-term impact to the field.

Lowering barriers to entry, making resources accessible to all, and decreasing experimentation cycle time I think are some of the most critical components to making any progress at all in the field beyond a basic pittance. Imagine if everyone had easy access to, knowledge about, and rapid experimentation results in things like quantum mechanics, large-algorithm testing, painting arts, musical arts, etc. It would drive things so much further forward at an individual and field-based level so quickly. <3 :)))) :D :D ;D :D :D :))))))))



People respond with negativity for a variety of reasons, and it often has more to do with the commenter than the content.


Wow, what a nice succinct way to put that. Thanks
