When you’re talking to an open source dev, just remember that they are literally giving you their time for free, and they are people who don’t like to be treated poorly.

    You’re lucky. I left FOSS dev because I got tired of my free time being abused by people like the one in your post

      I’ve had to adopt a two strikes policy towards these aggressive trolls, who treat you like your their personal servant, especially since they make up like <1% of ppl on issue trackers. After a warning, if they don’t play nice, then they’re out.

      It’s the only way to keep the coding experience enjoyable, and not suffer from burnout.
