Seems like this guy wants a clubhouse or playground instead of a place to do work. We already have people in open source who are more invested in discussing gender pronouns than actually coding. So can we not?
Honestly if not the quality of code and collaboration, why even use open source software if it comes with all this bureaucracy they want to instate? Might as well use proprietary software that comes with support and people who can be held accountable.
Uber provides great value to people like me who can't afford the burden of having a car and driving and only need a car maybe 20% of the time for various occasions. However, if Uber had to charge rates that would make them a real profit, people like me will simply no longer be able to afford it. We would go back to walking, biking, or taking the bus.
