His About page https://frenck.dev/about/ https://frenck.dev/about/ looks a bit weird after I read that GitHub thread
> I like to give back my knowledge and time to the open source community.
- bogwog 5y agoI think this is a cautionary tale about using social media while in a bad mood. Considering how unreasonable he was in that thread, I'm assuming he was just in a bad mood or something like that. Except now he's on the front page of HN with tons of comments criticizing him and painting him as a bad person. 99.999% of people will probably forget this by tomorrow, but it still would suck to be on the receiving end of this kind of attention I think.
- bellBivDinesh 5y agoHe also opened issues about four of his packages being used in the project. Doesn’t seem like a spur of the moment thing.
- richardfey 5y agoI guess it's not his first rodeo, he simply doesn't want to support whatever version is packaged by NixOS. However the MIT license dictates what can or cannot be done. No need for further drama.
- dwild 5y agoHow so? Seems like he does give back his knowledge and time to the open source community. Much more than me I can tell you, and probably more than many of people in thread. What he don't like is people expecting support from him in ways that differ his initial distribution methods, which makes sense when time is a limited ressource and he clearly has expectations on how he want to spend it.
- apple4ever 5y agoExcept literally the Nix folks were making suggestions to ensure there would be no expectations go support.
