Guys,
I got pointed to this thread today. The developer started off here as a noob but through learning and dedication he is now at the stage where he is looking to go far beyond where he started from for the good of our community.
All developers started out as noobs, asking basic questions and making mistakes along the way. This is how we all develop as we go through life. What is missing here is encouragement and support for this young developer from the very community he is trying to support.
Can we all please take a step back here and give this guy all the support he deserves. If he stumbles along the way lets give him a helping hand. If he becomes discouraged lets give him words of advice and help. If he delivers, lets be grateful for the work he has put in on our behalf. If he fails, lets try to understand why and work with him to make sure he succeeds next time around.
Remember, just before put finger to keyboard to put the boot in on a young devloper, ask yourself these questions:
- What have you done for this community?
- Why are you concentrating on the negatives rather than the positives?
- What can you do to help this developer achieve his goals?
- What can you do to make XDA Developers a better, more welcoming place for all of us, including our young developers?
Thank you in advance for your support here.
