Nobody whose software you use for free owes you anything. It is so important not to lose sight of this.
If you feel like they do owe you something, that's only because years of habit -- years of using other people's software for free, and having the good fortune of finding it generally to improve in quality over time -- has caused your baseline to drift from the true state of affairs, which is that nobody whose software you use for free owes you anything.
- ianbutler 5mo agoPeople here hate hearing this. You're entirely correct though.
- tardedmeme 5mo agoIndeed you can step down, but as one of the comments says: > Just because you're giving free soup to the homeless doesn't mean you can piss in it

- DonsDiscountGas 5mo agoOkay but if shipping software that has a bug counts as pissing in soup then a lot of people have been doing this for a long time.
- saghm 5mo agoHonestly if this is the metric, I'm not sure anyone has ever made piss-free soup
- jason_oster 5mo agoYou best start believing in piss-soup stories. You're in one!
- bigstrat2003 5mo agoRather, using a tool notorious for making code with a higher error rate than humans is what people are upset about. It's not just having bugs in and of itself.
