A Single GitHub Issue About Pi's Config Folder Placement Reached the HN Front Page at 56 Points — Users Say the Response Is Why They're Leaving
Issue #534 on earendil-works/pi, complaining that the coding agent's config folder ignores Linux XDG conventions, hit the HN front page Aug 17. The top comment from Systemerror7A69 makes clear the votes aren't about the directory: the maintainers' handling of it is 'part of why I explore other coding agents,' and the commenter adds that Pi's advantages are real but the hype is 'a bit overstated.' A dissenting reply ('who cares, geez... I use pi and couldn't care less') drew its own support, and several commenters could only reach the issue intermittently because of the concurrent GitHub outage.
