@thomasfuchs I feel mostly like this title's been foisted upon me. I did computer stuff for a living and the reality was I was called an engineer by other people and then expected not to act like one by the same other people.

If your #github project uses #stalebot you are being actively hostile to your community and should stop it.

I'm looking at you, #esphome, and the 4 (at least!) identical bugs indicating problems with esp_touch that were all closed by stalebot. Some of them were reproduced and started discussion and debugging before being closed.

Auto-closing is for #support requests, not #bug reports. Bugs don't magically disappear just because you ignore them.

In college, I took a class called The Letters of Paul. I took it for two very good reasons:

1. I was (and am) named Paul.
2. The prof, Cal Roetzel, was (and is) cool.
