I do agree, that nomads do not build cathedrals but there is the flip side of the coin, why one would want to be a nomad and the great benefits coming with being a nomad��
Guido the creator of python explains it from the side of the Python Standard library but I think it applies fine for Pharo too��
he makes the point at 49th minute for a couple of minutes. Especially if the subject of your coding is quite unconventional putting it inside a standard distribution can be a huge wast of time that not only can offer limited benefits but even decrease the quality of the code substantially.��
Afterall the most beautiful things in life are not big at all ;)��
But yes I agree that being teamplayer is extremely important too. The balance is somewhere in between and I am a big supporter of what you trying to do with making pharo more modular.��
Thanks for the slides. I am using Pharo for a couple of years and I am amazed how far it has come , keep up the great work.��
