Ah this takes me back. Many years ago, contributed to a few Ruby libraries, life was good. Then Rails hit their first RC post 0.13, and a new set of self-important developers rocked up, demanding all of your attention to add their demanded features, to receive their abuse as to why something worked as documented, and not how they thought it should.
There is a cadre of developers, and I use the word lightly, who Willl rock up and suck the fun out of your open source projects. Beware of them!
I appreciate a few obnoxious folk might appear from time to time, as they do in all public places, but I think it is good they published this, and hopefully it will encourage more folk to do the riverside walks and explore London beyond the usual tourist, consumer and work zones.
On a separate note - if any Guardian devs are reading HN these days - what happened to your site? Drowning in JS incontinence, so much so that instead of responsive design, you now have non-responsive design. KISS is not just a band, but a way to think about design and software engineering!
Supposed to be lucky - not sure for me or the pigeon though!
