Fun-shaming a passionate developer who, beyond their job description, delivered an editor that checks all the required boxes (small binary, fast, ssh-support, etc.) in just 4 months, while working on weekends and even Christmas, and calling it "wasting time" is incredibly upsetting. I'm grateful to work with people who value that kind of initiative.
You're making it all up, he's a terminal product manager, so it is not beyond job description.
Of course the app doesn't check all boxes, plenty of features other editors have had years to add simply couldn't be added even if you work on Christmas (by the way, is also entirely driven by the NIH decision to write from scratch and not than that doing a 3 language mock)
And I'm not shaming the fun, I'm saying that that's not a good justification for shipping a worse app to the millions in a professional setting
