Looks more like the new US youngsters becoming more like brainwashed Chinese or Russian apostates, who need to make public apologies before being allowed into society again. mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. What's wrong with you? Seriously. There's nothing wrong in these tickets to apologize for. Issues are for public discussions of issues. If maintainers cannot deal with public issues, they cannot be maintainers. Problems don't come with silverspoons, And this case there were not even problems at all.

People mature and the way they interact with others can change. I see this post not as a public self-shaming, but as the output of a personal retrospective that the author felt would be helpful to others to learn from instead of having to repeat the same mistakes... IMHO, content like this is very useful to my development as a person and a member of a community. (Not as a rule-set that must be blindly adhered to, but as an opportunity for self-reflection on my actions and how they impact others...)

So… guessing you have never contributed to an open source project in any meaningful fashion? I somewhat agree with you though, try to work on a project that has artists as the primary users sometime if you really want to see entitlement. Not that I have anything against artists in general but they usually have no clue how much work goes into their “simple” feature request from a demo video they saw from siggraph and now they absolutely have to have or they will quit using the free software — after completely spamming the mailing list and bug tracker to get other users behind this must have feature to show the devs how important it is to implement. Makes me kind of miss working on that program. —edit— And there were the occasional rewrite it in Java people, now they were really fun. There was one who actually machine translated the entire C codebase into Java and wanted the whole project to fork on that. Loved the Java ones.
