No net good would be if everyone chirping about AI use in coding picked up a book, Intro to C, Rust, hell even Java.
Till then this is all we got.
What’s your solution to the problem of developer burnout in FOSS projects?
He was literally asked to come out of retirement dude, cause the people with the actual fucking expertise with these tools are a handful. So in some ways, you are benefiting from the expertise of a handful of people and don’t even realize it.
And he can say no! I don’t understand how you don’t get this. He’s not being paid, he can’t be fired. He does not have to work like Sonic on a hamster wheel, he just doesn’t.
Money doesn’t reduce stress, it makes people more willing to put up with it.
You people are acting like this man has to finish this mukbang 5-foot-long sandwich, and somehow I’m the asshole who wants him to get heartburn because there isn’t a second guy there to help him eat the sandwich.
I brought it up because if you can’t contribute technically, you can contribute monetarily. Money can reduce stress. I bet you if FLOSS maintainers didn’t have to worry about money, they’d be making very different choices in life.
Imagine if rsync were a fully funded project and the maintainer could employ devs and more maintainers to help out. Do you think they’d be happy to use AI? This dude is retired, gives his time to the project and is trying to make things better, but instead of helping, people are berating him for his approach without contributing a damn thing.
We aren’t acting like anything. He wants to work on his passion project and people who have done absolutely nothing for the project are giving their unsolicited opinion on how he should work on his own goddamn project. They can all fuck off. It’s his project. FLOSS maintainers don’t owe us anything. Absolutely, nothing.

They could take a vacation. Generally, that’s how you deal with stress anyway.
And who has the time or money for that whenever you want or can? Especially when you’re asked to come out of retirement. Stop being an entitled brat
This is volunteer work! He can stop doing it at literally any time! No one is forcing him to do this!
The more you people go on about how much he has to work, the more I’m thinking that this whole open source thing is a huge human rights violation.

Like have you even looked at the rsync code?
And he can say no! I don’t understand how you don’t get this. He’s not being paid, he can’t be fired. He does not have to work like Sonic on a hamster wheel, he just doesn’t.
Or you could chip in with money instead of complaining on the sidelines.

If you’re poor! These are different kinds of stress!
They’re not being paid! I think they have to worry about money quite a bit!
Yeah, he’s like breaking it. He should probably retire a second time before resorting to sabotaging this thing he allegedly cares about.
As far as I know, they are. Like, away from rsync entirely.
