Yes. I did horrible things at the start of clj-time in my fork. I was so disgusted with my solution I abandoned it.

Those decisions got propagated and didn't get fixed for a long time. I should have kept it closed and let someone else do it properly, rather than unless abandonware on the world.

In fact, come to think of it, I regret everything I've ever open sourced. I can't think of even one time it lead to a positive outcome. I can't think of even one time it didn't lead to a decidedly negative outcome.

The same is true of my writing. Every time I've wrote about the advancements of programming, people have made it their goal to oppose it and mock me over it.

Lots of people love to talk about how great this community is. But I've never seen our world as much more than a slowly spreading cloud of venom in a larger medium of confusion. I've felt this way ever since the days when I was a kid and the title "hacker" was rigorously gatekept in local and isolated oligarchies.
