“You mean, in the absence of docs, I have to debug the compiler??”

I agree, it’s a turn-off, for sure

Such a good blog post, from start to finish.

There aren’t a lot of expertly-written in-the-weeds-tech blog posts, but this one was crafted so well. I guess that’s why Julia Evans’ name is so recognizable.

Parent is insinuating this may be deliberate sabotage on Brother’s end, to convince users to buy a new model after a while

Sure, it would be useful… if users used it.

I don’t see much of a difference between the two, to be honest. Maybe something isn’t loading?

I don’t think it’s fair to frame their intent that way. “Like” does not mean “exactly”. A period of time on the order of years is fine.
