No bullying, but Facebook wanted a change in one of my repos. The engineer said it was important for “security”, but had no motivation to contribute: https://github.com/wbond/asn1crypto/issues/59 https://github.com/wbond/asn1crypto/issues/59. Eventually I ended up having to do the work because other organizations didn’t like that I didn’t bundle 3MB of test fixtures with the releases on PyPi.
- asdfasgasdgasdg 6y agoSure, I'm not at all surprised that bigcos make bug reports or feature requests from time to time. This one seems like an issue that was also important to Ubuntu, so a good contribution from them? Or no? And it seems like the person was pretty polite about the request? Admittedly they could have been more specific, but that seems like a generic newb developer issue than a FAANG-specific problem.
- wbond 6y agoI don’t think it is a newb question, they just wanted me to revamp how I release my project and couldn’t be bothered to contribute to the goal.
- wbond 6y agoOne thing I would note is that typically engineers from bigger companies tend to email more than leaving public issues on GitHub. Especially in the security space, lots of users tend to seem to not want a public record of their conversation.
