Why do other people need to be working on a library for it to be useful to you? Can’t you pitch in?

Why do other people need to be working on a library for it to be useful to you? Can’t you pitch in?
- nindalf 4y agoNo I actually can’t because during these hiatuses there were many PRs submitted. These weren’t merged in because the author didn’t review them. Why does HN have this urge to write this template comment of “oh it’s free software, no complaining no matter how bad the governance is, you should pitch in even if there’s no conceivable way to do so”. Like, did you even bother learning anything about rocket before writing this comment? Did you feel very virtuous when you wrote it?
- db48x 4y agoI use rocket myself. There’s nothing huge missing, and nothing stops you from merging those PRs into your own repository (public or private) if you want them. How then is there no conceivable way to pitch in?
