Speaking as someone who is recovering from his own fuckups in this realm, I'm reminded of the buddha quote about how anger hurts the person who is angry rather than what you're angry at.

Please don't take this as a criticism of you personally though, I'm just venting and worried about how I'm gonna fix a work relationship that I care about that I damaged because I was angry

Wise words. This is actually rather tempered from my first draft. It may have made sense to temper it more, but I stand by every point I said.

Just a tip. It is best to write something out, sleep on it and then revisit what you wrote the next day with a fresh mind. Hope it helps.

It's seriously amazing how much you (and many others) give to the floss community.

I do the 9-5 developer thing and enjoy it very much, but I would probably lose my shit if I constantly had random strangers emailing me on my personal accounts demanding help.

I joke to myself that I would be the worst floss maintainer in the world and immediately reply to every feature request with an hourly charge out rate.
