We need a companion article; "Why user entitlement got so out of hand." Releasing something as "This worked for me, perhaps it will work for you" doesn't seem possible, now people expect that you've made a commitment by sharing.

As someone who sees programming as more of an artform and form of self-expression it's particularly heinous to see "the community" run off and get tiffed over something that to be quite honest, they're likely lucky someone even put out there to mooch off of in the first place. Especially given that most "Repo as a service" sites are rapidly becoming little more than wrappers around "please generate lots of code for me to train ML models off of". The heel-turn the industry has undergone, and the lack of respect for the amount of work saved by not having to recreate the same thing over and over and over again since I got in is inpressive, but also likely badly in need of a reality check. As both sharing developer, and entitled user have forgotten what Free Open Source was about. Sharing code for good or ill.
