The angsty (to put it charitably) bit is the "us vs them" "alpha" mentality:
- Sometimes another Open Source project will drop some turd in our wilderness
- Wolves that don’t hunt are domesticated pets.
- We will claim new territory only as our pack grows, all the while ensuring that the territory we currently hold is kept secure.
- what some bunny did in some random hole last Thursday
The high school bit is the author not having the maturity to see that they are forcing their ego over and around the project.
And then the loner bit is just an assumption, based on the idea that people who have been hurt by social rejection overcompensate in the other direction.
- pxc 2y agoI see what you're saying but I didn't really read the wolf stuff in terms of alphas and hierarchies so much. It seemed to stress social cohesion much more to me than status/dominance stuff. Like: > We will claim new territory only as our pack grows, all the while ensuring that the territory we currently hold is kept secure. Is this not just about maintenance burden vs. contributor base?
