No it was exactly what he said. First he complained about those feature requests with a meaningless "thanks in advance" attached (OK fine with me so far) but then with the phrase I quoted he made it clear that he doesn't like to be thanked in any shape or form.
- naturalgradient 9y agoWell that is actually true. A 'thanks' does not do anything for me. I don't write a library for other people's appreciation, I write it because I want to, because I can, and because I have my own interests for it. Insofar I am interacting with other people on the project, the only thing that does anything for me is if they contribute something. Appreciation is not worth anything to me but I am also deeply introvert and not very social, I simply do not care. I can appreciate most people feel different (by observation) but I build technology because I want it to exist and do things, not to be thanked.
