I have learned to detach myself some from open source, as some users are always going to be terrible, and IMO, more people should make an honest effort to contribute back to open source. If one gets too invested, it becomes too easy for negative contributors to affect your mental state, which affects the quality of solutions implemented. For example, I encountered a bug this morning in one of the latest releases that came from the Angular team yesterday. Before opening an issue in GitHub, I did some deeper investigation in the code to figure out more details as to what was happening, as it was something that I could not give a nice minimal reproduction for them to fix as it dealt with something complicated. I posted the information, and along with help with two other contributors, we narrowed down the issue to one module. It was frustrating to encounter such breakage with minor version upgrades on packages, but as an open source maintainer of some major projects myself, I know it is more counterproductive to lash out at maintainers who are doing the best they can with the information & resources they have.
