Lila: allow editing of comments on a Q&A question

[fobos531]

I hang out in the Q & A section a lot and there have been a handful of times when I messed up the comment (not the answer) and I really miss the ability to edit it like I can edit the answer.

It shouldn't be hard to implement.

[ornicar]

Then please, implement it.

[fobos531]

I certainly would, but I don't have the skills nor the resources required to do it :/

I know this isn't a high-priority thing, so I'd just thought you or someone else could do it when possible.

[ddugovic]

The resources are freely available with instructions and there is a comment saying this shouldn't be hard... :/

[fobos531]

@ddugovic I'm well aware of that. What I've meant is that I have no experience with Scala or similar languages, and it would take me too long to get up to speed. And frankly, I don't have the time to do it because of RL issues. My comment about this being "hard" was directed towards you, senior devs, who could get this working in like 20 minutes or so (wild guess).

[Unihedro]

If it takes more than 30 seconds to code, it will take over 30 minutes to debug, therefore it's not easy.

Don't underestimate debugging?

[ornicar]

My point was that, since you don't "have the skills", which is natural since you "have no experience", according to your own words, then your estimation of the complexity, or time required to build it, is uninformed, at best irrelevant, at worst irritating.

But OK issue accepted.

[fobos531]

I agree, the last sentence in the OP was completely unnecessary.

Thank you for consideration.

closing because Q&A is no longer a thing
