Well that certainly escalated quickly. The anger issues seem misplaced. Not a good way to solicit contributions.

Senior people at very wealthy companies whining that the software they take for free isn't up to their standards is a worse look.
>software they take for free
Software they were given. More cringe:

It sounds like Wes has given a gift and now expects something in return for it. r/niceguys anyone?

Berating your users publicly is not very becoming. I feel sorry for lebigot. He's really being mobbed now.
Looking at the comments, it reminds me of a poor tourist lady I saw surrounded by San Francisco beggars. She gave one some change out of kindness. She was mobbed by four more, who became upset because she had nothing for them.
I doubt she goes back to SF any time soon. Beggars everywhere. I doubt many quants will recommend improvements to Pandas any time soon. Beggars everywhere.

Who are the beggars? The quants who take but don't give back?
Comes on the heels of StackOverflow blog post attributing meteotic rise of Python to Pandas.

I read that as, "StackOverflow confirms: Pandas is poorly documented."
I read that as, "Pandas is poorly documented because of lack of funding".
Django is the exact same way. 52% of it's $200K goal.
And in a other thread, people wonder why the entertainment industry won't give their content out DRM free.

Selfishly, I looks at things like a basic income as a means of getting to spend a year earning ramen money on valueable but non-economic projects.
