> Posts like this are major contributors to maintainer burnout. Lack of contributors also causes maintainer burnout. The best way I know to have zero help is to treat a contributor poorly. Sometimes it cannot be helped, for example, when a contributor sends unusable code or a contribution forces a decision the maintainer isn't ready to make. Most scorned contributors will do exactly what Frederick did in this case, vent and then find a similar project to contribute to. In this case the similar project is Kitty, which is a fantastic piece of software. > Please don't ever post things like this. Asking people to shut up, not matter how politely you do it, rarely works. The problem will remain, and people will still complain about it.
