What an oddly arrogant post, there's been a Protobuf LSP available for years: https://github.com/lasorda/protobuf-language-server

The difference is that Buf's LSP is fully spec-complete since it's built on the same tooling that powers the buf CLI. I've seen several attempts at Protobuf LSPs over the years, but none that actually conform to the Protobuf specification, including the one you linked. That project is built on `emicklei/proto`, which readily accepts broken Protobuf and always has. The author says so in the README: "Current parser implementation is not completely validating .proto definitions." Maybe Buf should update the headline to "Protobuf finally has LSP support that works."

The bizarre "you're welcome" in the title is so obnoxious that I was sure it would be related to some sort of funny twist in the blog entry. Nope, they really thought that was appropriate.

I’ve seen similar wording from colleagues on the ASD (with Asperger’s).

It can be hard for some people to navigate the nuances between usage of a tongue-in-cheek usage of the phrase which is more socially acceptable or humorous from the version that reads as arrogant

surely we're not a community so unfamiliar with lacking social skills and this aberration isn't at all important to the topic at hand

It sounds like you're having a bad day or something. Putting "you're welcome" in the title of your own blog, on a free software release, is fine. It's not pushed into anyone's face. It loses some points for being a corporate ad but that would happen regardless of wording.

I think it makes the author sound like a dick.

Test for yourself: next time you take out the garbage, loudly tell your partner or roommate, “I took out the garbage. You’re welcome.”

That's a shared chore. Do you not see the obvious differences in the situation? If they said "you're welcome" about an obligation like paying taxes and also made it very personal, then it would be close in feeling to your scenario. But it's not. If you offer a genuine gift, in a situation where there is no expectation of payback or debt, you can say you're welcome.

It’s impolite and weird to say “you’re welcome” when offering a gift for which the recipient did not first express gratitude. It follows “thank you;” it does not precede it.

Try this instead: give a stranger a piece of pre-chewed gum and say “you’re welcome!” Hell, even if it’s not pre-chewed, it’s just presumptuous and rude. You have no idea if they value it or not. They might not even like it.

Even if my barista handed me the coffee I ordered and said “you’re welcome” before I thanked them first, I’d think they’re a little off kilter.

You're working mighty hard to manufacture outrage there.

Coming off more as projecting. Maybe you're being an asshole when you say "You're welcome" but it's a bit how the guy who steals is the first one to accuse others of theft.

We’re talking about basic etiquette here. I don’t have to manufacture it. If the score on my comment (which I know you can’t see but you’ll have to take my word for it) and other comments in this discussion that express similar sentiment are any indication (among them, “arrogant” and “obnoxious”), I’m by no means the only person who feels this way.

Try my experiments yourself if you disagree, and come back and let us all know how they went for you.

Perhaps you're unfamiliar with the common passive-agressive use of "you're welcome" in exactly the kind of context the OP article uses it. But it's a thing, even if you haven't come across it.

I am well familiar with passive aggressive. This isn’t how you fight it, is the point. Getting worked up is exactly the goal. Go outside. All of you.

You are getting a lot of feedback that you are the one who is mistaken here. Have you considered digesting it instead of escalating?

Are you as familiar with "condescending" as you are with "passive aggressive"?

Who is getting worked up? Who is "outraged", or looking to "manufacture" it?

I mean, the only person these descriptions apply to in this discussion is you.

Google's blog title is weird. Every normal human being that speaks English will find it weird. Maybe the author is on the spectrum, or maybe they thought their humour would carry better in a technical blog. Your agreement with this is not at all our concern.

Maybe you should go outside and settle down?
