      I think what ze’s saying is https://mikemcquaid.com/open-source-maintainers-owe-you-nothing/ . the nature of open source—atl in accord with the hacker ethic—is that everything is just a passion project, there is no responsibility to not make bad decisions, and bad decisions result in decreased adoption and lost trust. after all, open source has always been about making a new alternative because existing solutions are bad.

        So we aren’t supposed to talk about or react to said bad decisions? Come on.

          Do you want to post your real name and place of work online for everyone to see or do you understand why that kind of action is dangerous and wrong?

              This thread isn’t a discussion about a bad decision.

              Discussions don’t start with putting the developer in a mug shot and posting all of his personal details.
