Ask HN: Why are people so mean in the open source community? (about xz again)
Browsing the xz repo in GitHub and checking the recent entries in the Issues tab, I just found this entry:
https://github.com/tukaani-project/xz/issues/121
The person wasn't able to compile the project and he starts by being mean when he asks for help:
- "it shouldn't be this hard" - "the INSTALL file being a TLDR nightmare" - complaining about the compilation steps.
I know Larhzu went through a lot in the past but facing again those comments are too much. I appreciate his polite comment to the issue but I would appreciate if he can put people like that in their place like thesamesam did.
