Unfalsifiable. You're basically saying "they're adults, so if they do it they must necessarily get value from it".
Myth of the rational maintainer, if you will.
In real life, people get (mentally) stuck into suboptimal situations where leaving would make them happier all the friggin' time.
Bad jobs they should have quit. Bad partners they should have broken up with.
Why not bad open-source projects they should have stopped maintaining?
- chii 5y agoone would just assume that people doing it are making a rational choice, and don't need someone else to second guess it. What's so wrong with this line of thinking?
- HWR_14 5y agoThe entire post your responding to is explaining what is wrong "this line of thinking" and while you may disagree you don't really argue, you just assert.
