If I post code to a GitHub, I'm happy for you to use it, and I'm happy to learn about bugs in the code. But what obligates me to facilitate support, or respond to support requests? People should grow up.
- GordonS 7y agoPlainly you're not obligated to, but if you want to actually grow the userbase it makes sense. If you really don't want to help with (reasonable) support requests, then an alternative is to make that abundantly clear in your README. > People should grow up Not sure what this childish quip adds to your otherwise sensible comment?
- Lord_Zero 7y agoI personally will pass on any project/lib that has a bunch of unanswered issues, or a bunch of auto closed stale issues. Unless the project is big enough to have an active SO or Gitter community.
- your-nanny 7y agothis assumes that posting it to GitHub is actually intended to facilitate its use by other people.
