> We're talking about code that users can modify themselves to solve their own problems. That's it. I don't need to hear about the struggle.

That's exactly the kind of attitude that this discusses.

You create something that solves your problems, you put it up on GitHub, free, and open... Suddenly it turns out others have the same problems you did, your software solves them.

It starts ok. People are nice. But as it gains traction, a certain kind of toxic person becomes more and more common. The "YOU FIX IT NOW! I DONT KNOW" Kind of person.

You wake in the morning, look at your email, and it's a stream of being screamed at. That takes a toll.

All because you had an idea one time to build something that solved your problem you thought "hey I might just open source this".
