Last year I spent a lot of time deciding if I should stop contributing to open source. The number of bad intentions with community members was astronomic high. It is always the same people and they know who they are. It is funny that they call people jerks or that people are pushing community members away but they don’t look at the mirror.

I’m back to thinking about it it worth spending my time doing free labor to thankless people. I know they are the minority but they are the most vocal.

Many people ask me how to get started in open source, and these types of interactions make me want to tell people "don't bother". I want more people to be involved in open source, but there is a dark side that I don't think most people know
