There is some internal contradiction and repetition.<p>One repeated theme is what people won&#x27;t talk about, do talk about, and loudly social signal about, generally have nothing in common, so assuming any of those individually is a universal truth is likely to be a disaster.  This applies to a lot more of life than just FOSS development.<p>As an example of contradiction was the claim that people won&#x27;t read the docs but they will watch animations.  The reality as seen above is 99% of the population will read the docs and never contact you unless your docs suck, 0.9% will watch the pictures, and 0.1% will aggressively track you down and ask you to read the docs for them.  Although adding animations will cut annoyance contact by 90%, that doesn&#x27;t mean gifs are the only thing that matters; the docs are what&#x27;s really important.
