Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a nice life! :)
I just bumped into this article while checking my feed https://nibblestew.blogspot.com/2021/05/why-all-open-source-maintainers-are.html
An excerpt:
Preface
This blog post is meant to be humorous. It is not a serious piece of scientifically rigorous research. In particular it is not aiming to justify bad behaviour or toxicity in any way, shape or form. Neither does it claim that this mechanism is the only source of negativity. If you think it is doing any of these things, then you are probably taking the whole thing too seriously and are reading into it meanings and implications that are not there. If it helps, you can think of the whole thing as part of a stand-up comedy routine.
It really is quite humorous. :D
