It's mostly code quality / style / archtectural objections. Some of which are understandable since I'm new to the codebase and it's a prototype to show the feature, but taken together all the feedback basically rewrote the entire feature. I've pretty consistently had better experiences contributing to large open source codebases than getting a feature into this codebase so I don't necessarily think it's that I'm bad at receiving feedback?

They might be seeing you as a threat, because they think you might be trying to steal their light.

I used to not want to believe this kind of thing, but when I started to believe in it, quite a few situations became simple to understand.
