First of all, we have this blog post at least once a year, like top commenter has said. Second, uh, no, you're a moron. Open source now is just completely commercialized. Firefox looks exactly like a 90s garbage web browser that shows you some stupid page full of ads, and links to news with ads, on startup. I am an open source developer. I don't expect any gratitude for what I do, I just want to get shit done. People who pretend issues don't exist are annoying. If I am using a typical open source library these days, I expect it to be made by some guy developing it as if it's his job (and accordingly, with lots of corner cutting). Basically all these new sprawl of languages are a stack of half working bullshit from the build system to the GUI all made for clout or on a whim based on some idea thought of last night, or by some extremely inexperienced person. And the only reason none of this stuff works well is because open source devs are literally clout chasing and constantly move all their dependencies (also fixing invalid problems that shouldn't exist like RCE bugs). You're right, I shouldn't expect them to work at all.

I didn't even read your article, I have better things to do. The idea that people are "entitled" in tech is retarded and no spin on your title can make sense. Tech is a sea of festering rot piled up 100 times.
