- You and lhecker insulted Casey Muratori

- You insisted this was a "doctoral research" (your words) and that he was "misguided" (Leonard's words)

- When it turned out he was right, you posted a non-apology (you didn't even name the person you were apologizing to)

- A year later Leonard who claimed it was so hard now writes a blog post that "solution is trivial" and was "suggested by a community member". Once again failing to acknowledge the person who gave you this trivial solution

What more you could've done? What do you think?

And Casey didn't? Please take into consideration that Casey's definition of the solution as "simple" can sound quite insulting as well.

If someone stated that something is "simple" with an overtone of "are you blind", instead of showing more humility, I would feel insulted too.

    It can sound insulting only to people who originally claimed that what Casey suggested requires "doctoral level research into performance". Only to then implement exactly what he suggested.

    Please re-read the original GitHub issue from the start: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/10362

    He is there trying to understand an issue, providing suggestions etc. And generally being baffled how a modern terminal on a modern machine can output text at something like 5 frames per second.

    After that Windows Terminal team barges in with "what you’re doing is describing something that might be considered an entire doctoral research project in performant terminal emulation" to... only do exactly that later.

    And what Casey said was going to be simple is this: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/10362#issuecomm...

    Tell me how this is insulting to anyone except the people who now claim that "oh we'd been aware about this approach before Casey opened the issue"?
