This comment is rewriting the premise again. > This is a discussion about FLOSS projects' lives and their maintainers' experiences. It's not. It's rooted at mjw1007's comment "When I file a bug report[…]" and, before that, the linked article where antirez deals with the same matter that I'm discussing. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24670700 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24670700 A later comment—the one that I responded to—tries to convince us to focus on the maintainer and sell the appreciation-as-compensation, maintainers-get-nothing, and, implicitly, the bug-reports-have-negative-value perspective that is pushed in the circles I referenced above. And that's the problem. As I wrote elsewhere, filing bug reports takes more effort than not filing them. By myopically portraying the maintainer as if they're a protagonist in some Gary Stu fanfic about the world, we end up with a take that fails to consider all the relevant details, and that's the attitude that antirez admonishes. Please revisit both the article and the comment linked above. (I'm not really interested in responding further to this conversation.)
