open source software developers are getting fed up and are finally recognizing that they can just fucking leave.

  • the owner of nvim-treesitter gets a really shitty comment from a user saying that the update to a required version broke their workflow
  • the owner replies saying "hey just pin what you need instead of mainlining it if you need this for an older version"
  • the shitty user replies back saying "go switch to something that doesn't require interacting with people"
  • the owner says "OK." and ARCHIVES THE REPO

I'm not sure how I really feel about that, but at the same time:

I first thought you were quoting the MIT license there

@Colin @chirpbirb I wasn't quoting any specific software license when I wrote that. I was rattling off my own riff on a very common unwarranty disclaimer that a lot of OSS licenses have. 😅
