Why we never thank open source maintainers
As the maintainer of a reasonably popular library, I actually get irritated by a lot of 'thanks', because they are in the form of this sentence:<p>'Hi, can you implement <Feature that takes a month of work>? Thanks!'<p>Usually from people who have never contributed anything.<p>Honestly, being thanked in any shape or form does nothing for me, Id rather have users be more considerate of our time and not abuse issues and the community for supporting their laziness.
