I see, they can't figure out how to contribute a few lines of C++ because we have a link where someone says they can't figure out how to contribute C++ code only Go. :)

There's a couple things I want to impart: #1) empathy is important. One comment about one feature from maybe an ollama core team member doesn't mean people are rushing to waste their time and look mean calling them out for poor behavior. #2) half formed thought: something of what we might call the devil lives in a common behavior pattern that I have to resist myself: rushing in, with weak arguments, to excuse poor behavior. Sometimes I act as if litigating one instance of it, and finding a rationale for it in that instance, makes their behavior pattern reasonable.

Riffing, an analogy someone else made is particularly adept: ollama is to llama.cpp as handbrake is to ffmpeg. I cut my teeth on C++ via handbrake almost 2 decades ago, and we wouldn't be caught dead acting this way. At the very least for fear of embarrassment. What I didnt anticipate is that people will make contrarian arguments on your behalf no matter what you do.
