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 When will People stop treating like maintainers of a hobby project owe them anything. I mean yeah, blocking older versions just because isn't that nice, but maybe there is some buggy behaviour you don't see right now.
But nevertheless, it's a project of another person that they kindly shared with you not some Product you paid for.
