8 years of Rust and I think their burnout problems stem from the monoculture of quirky personalities that make "fuck you, reader/user" decisions at every turn.

If you think that the project makes "fuck you" decisions at every turn, I invite you to peruse our issue tracker and PR queue.
The burnout problems are because people care too much about making things better, and that is a neverending queue of tasks that seems to get longer and longer.
Someone looking at the tools and documentation and thinking "these people don't care about their users", just makes it evident to me that no matter how much tears, blood and sweat we put on improving things there will be people who think you're either not doing anything or that you're actively harmful to the project. So what's the point then?
