i wonder if rich felker realizes the people he's replying to are often also open source maintainers

twitter.com/RichFelker/sta i thought "i don't want to start an argument" and "maybe taking a few minutes to cool off" would make this less irritating but, like. look. i know most of us are not going to be Libc Maintainers Online who handle The Firehose Of Unappreciate Masses

With the understanding that (a) might actually impose more labor on the maintainers than you think unless you're already really well versed in working with the project...

personally i have found that people who care to open a bug report or send a patch are net better than people who do not, and i deeply appreciate that people care to try making the thing we're collaboratively using any better

Bug reports from developers are a different ball game than bug reports from most end users.
If the users of your projects are primarily or only developers, be very thankful.
I dread the dozen daily feature requests we get and the common reactions to closing nearly all of them.

Rarely get any annoying pull requests with code changes. May not have time to review properly for a long time and may not find the energy to describe what would need to be changed, but it's helpful. If people are understanding about limited time/energy for review, it's all good.
