I propose a day, once a quarter, where the team maintaining an open source project sits down with a new user and silently watches them try to compile it, using only the instructions on the website.
@gknauss OSS maintainers don’t owe anyone anything.
@cferdinandi
I don't think we owe anything more than others. But neither do we owe less.
@gknauss
@williampietri @gknauss me providing free labor once does not obligate me to provide free labor again or on an ongoing basis
@cferdinandi @gknauss You say that with a tone of contradiction, but I never said otherwise.
@williampietri @gknauss "Neither do we owe any less" has a certain implication to it that I strongly disagree with.
@cferdinandi
Oh? What are you inferring from that that you strongly disagree with?
