I am not speaking for Ilya, but from skimming through the
dialogue it struck me that you didn't respond from the
perspective of managing the process, but from a pure engineer
mindset of providing alternatives.
It would've been better if you started by 1. understanding the
issue 2. acknowledging that the type system has an obvious bug
3. looking at the issue from the perspective of the person
bringing attention to the issue. I don't think anyone was
looking for workarounds, but looking for
1. acknowledgment of the issue
2. acknowledgment of what the issue leads to in terms of
inconvenience
3. a forward looking vision for future improvements
Your two #1 points aren't the same - understanding/acknowledging
the issue. I think I could have done more to acknowledge it now
that you brought it up.
