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

This is funny as hell but I think the right move would have been to ban the shitty user

@flammableengineering @chirpbirb true, but then we wouldn't be talking about this. if this going viral convinces at least some people to not become ban-worthy dicks, then it was probably for the better for that to happen.
