  Quoting people out of context? Tsk, tsk. I thought we were all adults. Why didn't you post the whole comment? > I really like the philosophy and design of this package but it appears its development process has basically stopped. I don't mean to pressure or to be rude but if @minimaxir could share his thoughts on this I would really appreciate it. > Can we expect development by the maintainer? > How can the community support? > Are you open to PRs and reviewing them? > What's your time commitment? > Should someone just fork the repo and develop it from there? > Thanks

    That's very polite, with the added bonus of being clear and concise. Not sure why the author took issue with it.

      Stay stressed long enough and paranoia starts clouding your judgment. He seems burned out over trying to keep up with the fast pace of AI development (which is understandable). He's clearly putting inhuman amounts of effort into whatever he's doing and it's wrecking him, so I'm guessing he's perceiving questions about his project's longevity because he hasn't addressed issues from six months ago as seeing vultures circling in anticipation of his imminent demise. He's giving it his all and he's being presumed dead after six months...what more can he give? That's all totally ok and understandable, and I hope he takes some time off to relax in the next few weeks. But I also wish that he would take this article down. He's externalized his own internal struggle as authoritative-sounding advice proscribed to the community at large, based on his own misguided perceptions of perfectly-acceptable discourse. It's Toxic-with-a-capital-T.
