  • My favorite version of this is when the novice has followed someone’s dodgy advice to set pull.rebase = true, then they pull a shared branch that they’re collaborating on, into which their coworker has just merged origin/main. Instant Sorcerer’s Apprentice-scale chaos!

    Why are you doing that? Don’t do that.

    This is one of my largest frustrations with the open source community. Everything is immediately assumed as malicious. There is no escalation, it’s “you screwed me over” from the jump.

    I suppose it’s bred from decades of large corporations pilfering open source for profit. However, this post could easily have been, “I noticed there’s some code I wrote that wasn’t attributed, would you mind adding that?”. Escalate from there if the appropriate actions aren’t taken.
