TFA was posted in 2018; that drama is from the past few days. What connection is there?

But the link to the post was posted here just now! - which I'm assuming means something.

Both share a theme: the trials and tribulations of running an open source project, I suppose. Some contributions, one way or another, demand more of them than the maintainer might like. How do you deal with this? How do you set the boundaries? And so on.

I guess we were responding to different things: my reading of GP's question was why the gist was posted (back in 2018), not why it was shared today.

But indeed yes, I can see that connection.

I think you're right anyway. Re-reading the post with your comment in mind, I think it's clear enough that this was what was actually meant.

You're not able to connect these two subjects?

A thesis on "don't abuse people in open source" and a bot "abusing people in open source"?
