I guess my view is that it's right and proper for people to point out invalid arguments, even if they're being made to justify something that the author has the right to do anyway.
- hombre_fatal 2mo agoBut it's not an "invalid argument" to share your experience. Just like it's not an invalid argument to say you don't like chocolate ice cream. "Just ignore people who reach out to you" and "Just don't get burned out" aren't pointing out an invalid argument, either. It's just peanut gallery nonsense. Open source software is easy come, easy go. Part of that is accepting it when maintainers don't feel it's worth it anymore. And now with AI you basically have to choose between no contributors or a firehose of slop issues/PRs, something that changed overnight.

It instead equivocates between those two things. In that sense, its argument is invalid.
