Man, someone reported a bug in unreleased Nokogiri code. I said "Thanks, I'll take a look."

Then they opened a CVE for the bug. A bug that never appeared in a released version! Without my consent!

Now I am on an adventure to reject the CVEs and have emailed @vuldb.com who is the CNA. #osslife #wtf

Can’t wait to see all my @plone.org friends this Monday at the #BeethovenSprint in Bonn! It’s always a joy to reunite with this amazing community! #OSS #OSSLife #Plone
(And thank you, @kitconcept.bsky.social for hosting us ❤️)

And occasionally, I'm pleasantly suprised by folks who -- correctly! -- take that response as an invitation to do the work themselves. IMHO this is what healthy Open Source looks like.

The world is full of people with great ideas for YOU to work on for them.

My mental health has been improved by learning how to politely say, "no".

OSS maintainers vs regular Ruby users in the beginning of a new year 🤣

I was only half-serious. It's an opportunity to celebrate that the gem is stable and in demand.❤️ But you are entitled to run the project the way you see fit and I feel your #osslife pain.

Step 1: Create something useful that doesn't hurt anyone and give it away for free.
Step 2: Be yelled at.
