“I'm basically giving myself a permanent vacation from being BDFL”
I don&#x27;t know if it&#x27;s just me, but if you read the forums and bug reports related to open source projects, it feels like programmers today are a really entitled lot.<p>The tone that people take when filing bug reports for what is basically free software is reprehensible.  People are doing work for FREE to benefit you, and you take a tone with them like you are a prince and they are your royal goblet holders?  Who taught these human beings their manners?<p>I totally understand the frustration when you write a large system in Python and then the Python committee makes a breaking change that makes your life very difficult.  However, you didn&#x27;t pay for Python!  These sorts of changes should be expected, and if you didn&#x27;t expect it, you are the fool.  And in any case, you aren&#x27;t paying these people a cent, so speak politely to them.  You are basically a charity case from their perspective.
