ownCloud 9.0.2 with PHP 7
-
I think that it is a bit more inflammatory to feel that they made a mistake than to think that they were protecting us from some issue with PHP 7 and/or their code using PHP 7.
-
Does any of this really matter? Neither of you are going to change the other person's mind and if that isn't your goal then why argue in the first place?

@JaredBusch said in ownCloud 9.0.2 with PHP 7:
This is your opinion, based solely on a single package name. No different than my opinion.
My opinion is that what they did was intentional. Yours is that they made a mistake. My "opinion" was simply to trust them, yours is to distrust. Mine implies no malice or mistake. Yours implies mistake.
My "opinion" is just repeating what they have implied. At some point, everything is opinion. But mine is just going by what they said.

Mine's just repeating what I believe they told me. Not trying to inject opinion.

If you have a problem, report an issue instead of broadcasting assumptions. Discuss the problem here yes. But broadcasting assumptions is wrong.
I tagged them. I made sure that they were aware of the discussion.

What they told you? You are reading a whole hell of a lot into a package name.

Yes, to some degree. I believe that they felt that PHP 7 should not be used as the logical conclusion of why it was removed. That's fine, we just need to move to PHP 5.6. Jared's opinion is that they made a mistake, didn't catch it in testing and are having quality control issues as the logical conclusion.
So if my reading of it is correct, you should not be using PHP 7 with ownCloud. If Jared's is correct, ownCloud has egg on their face and you need them to fix something that they broke.
In one case, it is broken. In the other, it is not.

And the description of the package.
Far less than you are reading into nothing. I'm basing what I think is true off of what I think that they were telling me. You are saying it is wrong only because you think so.

That is true but why argue about it? You guys do this sometimes and I don't understand it. If you have to choose between being right and being kind--kindness should always be your choice IMO. You just have to tolerate each other not accept one another.

I think and Jared would probably agree, that the two are one and the same. Being wrong to make someone else "feel better" is patronizing.

For example...
If I'm wrong and Jared is correct (remember, we could both be wrong somehow) then this is a chance for me to learn. Am I jumping to conclusions? Am I misunderstanding the package as it is?
It's a chance to grow. If I just "be kind" and condescend to act like it doesn't matter, we lose a learning and growth opportunity.

Yes but there is constructive criticism (like what I am doing now) and unconstructive. I am both challenging you guys and also being kind.

Consider a training for a boxer. A "kind" trainer would tell the boxer to go home early, take it easy, eat some cake and watch Netflix. An "honest" trainer would make the boxer work hard so that he has a chance of winning.
Who's really kind? The one that lets the boxer fail or the one that pushes him to grow?

If the criticism is honest and correctable (calling people ugly isn't correctable, for example) then it is always constructive.

No, you are being anti confrontational. Why? Just because you don't like to be confrontated? How is our conversation unconstructive?

It is certainly broken. OwnCloud has a history of not getting things right and thus having obvious quality control issues.
This is why I built my 8.X instrucitons to intentionally be 8.X and not upgrade to 9.0 via repo without manual intervention.

I'm confronting both of you currently so I don't think that is true. You can challenge the ideal but not the person. From my point of view (which is the key here) more often than not you guys do take it to a personal level in a very aggressive way. This is just one person's opinion. Take it for what it is.

Well, I don't really agree. I did a lot (and I mean a LOT) of training on this and one of the most important things that we were taught was that you always make it personal. Any attempt to shield, couch or redirect criticism removes the need for self improvement. If I made a mistake in my assumptions, the break is with me, not with some process. This is called getting to the root cause, rather than being misdirected by proximate causes.
Making it personal is very, very important. That doesn't mean being mean, but it does mean being honest, direct and personal. It's not "someone might think" it's "Scott says" because it is Scott that might need to improve.
The idea that you don't confront people directly comes from failed organizations and the education system where they want no one to feel bad or be pushed or whatever. They want a "feel good" atmosphere - because they don't care about personal growth.

You address the person and confront the idea. The issue isn't you if you're wrong it's the idea/concept. "You're mostly right but in x situation you would be incorrect for y reasons". That is a constructive, mentor-like attitude to take.
That's what you guys are--mentors. Especially to a person like me with much less knowledge.

This is the "idea" that I am saying is wrong. The idea is wrong is a red herring, it is a proximate cause. The root cause is how that idea was formed. Correcting the idea does not lead to growth. It might fix the problem at hand, but it is a band aid. It's false improvement. It's the person that created the idea that needs to change in order to grow.
