I get a dozen issues a day across my projects. I used to respond to all of them daily, then I was so burned out from that chore that I don’t even read my notifications anymore.
Funny how people here think it’s just basic human decency to spend an hour of my time each day responding to people who managed to click a submit button. For every HNer here bragging about how thoughtful their issues are, there are 100s of low effort issues from people who won’t even respond to a follow up.
Running popular projects has shown me there’s no “free” in open source just because literal money isn’t exchanging hands. It’s basically a ddos of your time.
Github needs a feature where you can attach a tip to your issue to compensate the maintainer. I get so much
low effort garbage that I would set a $10 minimum on my most popular projects.
People here think bug reports are free labor. What they would know if they ran a project is that most bug reports, even with an issue template, are “it doesnt work wtf.”
