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

@chirpbirb wow, that's almost acting like an adult.

Of course, you have this power and of course you can drop the ball like this, but it doesn't help anyone.

That "power move" is a move you get to make once, maybe twice in your life. Rage quitting a project because one guy asks for it, isn't really building confidence in you.
