For entertainment purposes, I’ll give you another example of someone I encountered on my repos.
One guy opens 2 extremely long and conversational issues describing how my software is really ugly and it should be more like other software. Then went ahead suggesting that the other developer hasn’t updated his software for a while because he got lazy (their words), so I should just rip his code and improve it, disregarding mine.
This went back and forth for a while, eventually arriving at the solution they wanted: that miraculous feature I don’t want to implement and that they knew I didn’t want to implement. Closed and locked both issues, so they opened another one.
What am I supposed to do? I said no and you keep saying you know better.
Is it because I’m burned out or because they’re the usual OSS user who has nothing to offer and a lot to expect?
