Discussion on: The human toll of log4j maintenance

See, that's exactly what I mean by 'mind game', this 'maybe it doesn't apply to you, but other people take pride in their work'. This is the kind of snide commentary, the mentality that 'if you don't agree with me then you must not be good at your job'.

If I want to say someone isn't good at their job, then I'd say it directly. You are reading maliciousness in my comments where it doesn't exist. I've been treating your comments with good faith, but if you aren't going to do the same to mine, then perhaps this conversation has run its course.

It's also supremely unhelpful. Nothing constructive about it. You think this needs to be pointed out to the log4j maintainers?

Unless you're on the log4j dev team, then I've never even spoken to them, I haven't pointed anything out to them, and I definitely haven't been bashing them.

Talking about mistakes that devs have made is extremely useful and helpful to future devs to avoid making the same mistakes.

But that's exactly it. It's not your place to judge unpaid volunteer OSS maintainers.

It's not your place to tell me or anyone else who we can or can't judge.


Thanks for the interesting discussion, but since you seem to have taken this personally and are now turning to accusations and assumptions of bad faith, I think it best that we just agree to disagree.

Best of luck and have a nice day.

Well, you came in highly praising Rich Hickey's post about open source and then proceeded to take away the exact opposite of what he said. Best of luck to you too.
