I hope the PM is ok. But if they haven’t suffered some kind of severe illness how do they even apply for a job in the future if this becomes well known?
If it’s some kind of pissing contest could they potentially have legal exposure?
- budu3 9y agoYep. On a human level, I really hope the PM is okay. Maybe open source communities can setup a way for core team members to check in on each other on personal level.

- WhitneyLand 8y agoNot even close I think. One common thread between a job, and contributing to free software, is that you are often collaborating with others and helping each other as a team. There’s nothing inherently wrong from moving on from either one, but there is a vast spectrum of ways to make the transition - from productive and retaining friends, to bridge burning. If there was some unforeseeable emergency in the PMs life he shouldn’t be criticized for that. Let’s assume the positive, he’s probably a great guy, there’s a rational explanation, and he’ll end up making things right. The problem is sometimes other people might just be making dick moves, which really doesn’t help either party.
