Don't let Inkscape developers alone in the trenches — step up, fuel the resistance, and help them drive a stake through the heart of Adobe's monopoly

Haters are asked to pick an evening eastern standard time to all meditate and channel their hatred into the repo

Then that means it's a trial. You must now get better at C++.

you can be the best and still hate c++.

If you don't hate c++ you are not good at it
