You know what?

100% of my empathy goes out to anyone involved in open source development, who also has to manage that project's social feeds, subreddits, or any other public-facing platform.

You're on the front lines of endless complaining and borderline hateful criticism, and it never seems to end.

And if you're someone dishing out that kind of behavior? Grow the fuck up, be less entitled, and try to respect the human beings working their asses off to make awesome free software for you.

Happy Holidays To All Software Support Folks, You Rock!

Understaffed and lacking tools you are undaunted and help customers, write knowledge base articles, cobble together workarounds and work with engineering and marketing. You are amazing! Donโ€™t let anybody tell you otherwise!
