I can partially agree but we live in a day and age where asking someone their name may be considered offensive. I think there is a lot more value in teaching people self-worth and to not be so easily offended by people asking questions and then they run sway and hide and say that you hurt their feelings by asking them.
A simple disclaimer that says they don't have any obligation, or heck most open source licenses indicate that. Who cares it people +1 something. If open source developers want to focus on perfecting their code to be a haiku there is nothing wrong with that.
However, if they don't get around to implementing important features or merging PRs then they shouldn't be surprised nor offended when people abandon their projects either.
Sometimes people can be demanding and rude, but the key to get anything accomplished is learning how to interact and deal with people. If you can't handle people asking questions or +1 or +2'ing your public GitHub issues then you're probably not cut out for software development even as someone who is an unpaid open source contributor.
- nicbou 4y agoThis goes both ways. It's also fine to ignore your open source users, or refuse their requests. What will they do, fire you? Stop paying you? If they don't like it, it's on them.
