The non-discoverability plague isn't unique to Minecraft, but to me it seemed like it started the trend of "you can't play our game without looking it up on the internet".
My most recent game purchase, PUBG, has the same problem if you pick it up cold, even if you are a seasoned FPS player. "what are these blue and white and red circles on my map? Who is this running man on my HUD and what is the bar underneath him? What's that bar above my health?"
Minecraft's lack of discoverability is a problem in general, like how would you figure out how to make a portal to the nether without looking it up online?

Just misread "copyleft terms" as "copyleft teens" ...

Today somebody wrote me a really nice email about how they saw some open source software I published, how they were building upon it, and thanked me for it. It made feel really great. More people should send these kind of emails (myself included), it's really validating and made my week.
When future historians look at our software, they'll think the unix epoch was some religious date or when we thought the world began or something
