Ask HN: What's the greatest lie of open source?
The greatest lie of open source is that open source contributors are morally superior to testers, donators and people who take their time to submit detailed issue reports.<p>As a matter of fact, one of the guys in that Twitter thread, Olivier Tassinari - a team member for the Material UI react component kit, acted like he was some kind of royalty when he compared his GitHub contribution history with mine after a disagreement about putting ads in NPM logs.<p>I can&#x27;t stand arrogant, entitled assholes like that, especially when I&#x27;m supporting everybody by regularly donating money to much, much larger open source projects that everybody uses.
