I just get the feeling the disagreement is over more than just page scraping and API usage. Maybe I’m just imagining things due to the mood I’m in.
Frankly, Missing e became slightly more of an onerous task than a labour of love months ago. It occasionally interferes with my full-time job and my home life. I just saw all the people using it and suggesting it to their friends and posting about how much they liked this feature or that one. That kind of thing is addictive to a developer.
Hobbies and crafts you do in your spare time should be enjoyable. When they start feeling like work, they’re tolling their own death knell.
I am going to see what I can do to fix it up. Be a better Tumblr API citizen. Prune the features they don’t want that I didn’t feel right about including in the first place. If it’s much more than that, I have my doubts about whether it is something I will continue to pursue.
I will say that it was eerily simple to disable installation of Missing e. Click, click, short shell command. That was it.
I'm a Canadian engineer living in Seattle and working at Hulu (formerly Brooklyn and Etsy). I am highly skilled at identifying bumps in the night.
I'm not really sure why I have to say this, but at no point should you assume anything I post here ever reflects the opinion of any of my employers or coworkers, past or present. I can only assume it is because they have higher standards than my blog.
It’s hard not taking this personally…
considering all the free time I put into this.
