> Deprecating install.md

> Last Friday we announced install.md and it didn't see much adoption.

With thrash like this why would anyone adopt this for something serious?

It's just an .md file, so the overhead is low. The lack on conviction in your design does not inspire confidence though.

RadiozRadioz•2w ago
Yes, this is ridiculous. Far too much chrun in this ecosystem. This decreases my confidence in this Mintlify company; given this, they seem like the type to randomly rugpull when they feel like it.

It smells of gambling fallacy. Surely, this time theyll win AI and itll finally find that corner case or function flow
skeptrune•2w ago
Yeah, I can understand where you're coming from. I guess there's balance to the extent that being overly stubborn is also not a great thing. Prioritization at an early stage startup is a tough task.
lovich•2w ago
There is no world outside of a cult or hype bubble where a 6 day turnaround time from announcement to deprecation is acceptable for a standard.

Standards are something that multiple independent groups can build on and should be somewhat stable.

If this was labeled as experimental than maybe, although its crazy to waste time publishing if you are working on something that rapidly iterating. Its not though, because everyone in this AI boom is rushing to be the winner takes all, and is trying their best to signal to the crowd that they are that winner.

There was already a “standard” published by Anthropic. How is this different?
skeptrune•2w ago
In hindsight the title here is weird. It's meant to refer to the existing standard, but doesn't read that way.
