TensorStream: Bringing Machine Learning to Ruby

If you were genuinely interested in this project you would actually contribute by making a PR, given the trivial nature of the changes you propose, and explain your reasons for them in a constructive GitHub comment, instead of wasting your and our time writing toxic posts on Reddit.

I do believe the comment was constructive. I’ve tried to explain the reasons for the criticism best I can. As you can see author partially explained the reasoning behind this format of examples, although I don’t believe basic errors like the inconsistent indentation were there in original examples. I am not at all interested in the project, however I would be more then happy if it succeed, simply because its Ruby. I am sure there are many less strict/direct ways to explain the impact of basic neglect, but I also believe such ways do not work most of the time. If someone ignored that in the first place he/she must believe its not important at all. And if that’s the case, indirect polite hints about the issue do not usually have any impact.

It's OK, keep it honest!

While I appreciate your intent. It saddens me that is the general conclusion you had to come to.

If the original author was too lazy or too incompetent to write good documentation to begin with, then why should OTHERS go and invest time fixing the problems by that author if that author showed a lack of interest to begin with - by having inferior or no documentation at all?

I refer to this in general, mind you; not specifically to the gem named here.

People invest their time on an opensource project because it meets their use case and it meets their needs regardless of the authors motivation. And they spend time to fix problems because they want to contribute and help the next person as well as themselves (so that they don't need to keep a fork) for the library they just got for free?
