It's crazy to me that even after seeing so many major software distributors choose `curl | sh` as their entry point, people like you will still argue to the ends of the earth that there’s no problem with the package manager ecosystem. I'll stop there. I'm not interested in continuing this discussion when it's being conducted in bad faith. | ||

Bad faith, or perhaps just ignorance. It reminds me of purist junior engineers - and I have been one - refusing to understand or tradeoff in the world beyond their own. Rather than argue with those of us who are pointing out messy realities, this commenter might be better served filing a bug against any number of the projects that offer installation this way, asking them to remove it, and see if it lands any better. Technical purity/superiority isn’t the only factor, or even the most important one, driving projects to offer quick installers like this. | ||
