very debatable that the world is a better place after the development of distributed processing engines.

Source: I'm a data engineer and almost every application I've seen in production made the world a worse place.

The manifesto is extremely naive and it's not a manifesto. A call to action with an ethical goal doesn't make sense without an ethical framework to decide what to implement and what not. Otherwise it's just implementation for the sake of implementation, nothing different than what is already done by random projects on GitHub.



I appreciate your participation, will consider your notes. Thanks a lot.


I think you can make your manifesto page 'more like a manifesto' by starting it with a sentence something like

"Our goal in ResearchCoders is to draw the attention of programmers to research that has not yet been realised and urge those programmers to implement practical systems that realize the ideas of that research".

This is based on one of the existing sentences.

Actually the wikipedia definition [0] of 'manifesto' is fairly loose: "A manifesto is a published declaration of the intentions, motives, or views of the issuer, be it an individual, group, political party or government". By that definition, you have a manifesto.
