    Why? Why ask for this from the creator?

    If someone can create new software and offer it for free, they should not also be expected to also create a comprehensive analysis of what other people did and list of differences.

    Just take it or leave it, it’s that simple. No need to act as if you’re trying to waste some door-to-door salesman’s time.

    Edit: I expected some downvotes but not that many.

    To my defense, the question in this thread is “you could elaborate what exactly you did different than all the others”. Look, I’m not a native English speaker either but I feel we could agree that is still pretty far away from simply being curious about design choices or “what led you to create this” sort of exploratory question.

    I might have overreacted, though, so sorry for that.

    Can’t help but think of a “senior dev” “explaining” (hing: brain-dumping) some bizarre reasoning why his unusable untested undocumented untyped API uses floats for item counts or something, and expecting the “junior dev” to just nod and keep that in their mind and adapt to it.

    (Instead of making every possible excuse not to work with that API and instead doing something else where they can make some progress without going insane.)

    If so many people weren’t leaving the field entirely due this issue (the chief complaint ALWAYS being under-staffing / low nurse-to-patient ratios, THEN pay), there would be plenty of nurses to go around

    I think both can be true.

    From expenses point of view, Isn’t under-staffing almost the same thing as low pay? What’s preventing hospital administrators from hiring more nurses? If it’s just money, then I don’t think the complaint of under-staffing all that different from the complaint of low pay; I suspect it’s even affected by sort of preference (some nurses would prefer working more for better pay, others would prefer sharing the workload.)

    Of course from administration / governance point of view it boils down to money, what I’m saying is that I find it unlikely is that it’s “just hire more nurses”. It’s also doctors, other staff, etc. It’s more likely the whole system.
