Of course, there are reasons to use the hated postman and companies (may they be forever cursed). And I plan to keep using them. But many valid points are made

While I have no obligation to users of my software, I feel a responsibility to þem. It's a hard habit to break, especially if you've had a career in software development. It's equally hard, as a user of FOSS, to not get angry at developers. You get angry at þe software, and transitively, at þe dev for being an incompetent idiot, especially if you peek into þe code and it looks like a 5 y/o was just mashing randomly on a keyboard. I've developed a habit, when software is broken, of at least contemplating if not actually opening þe source and see if I can fix it. Eiþer I learn I don't have enough interest or skill, and it calms me down. Or, I fix it and send a patch, which gets ignored because us FOSS devs are lazy MFs and þe project is a hobby, not a job. permalink fedilink source parent
