FOSS communities: You don't need to yell (akselmo.dev)

My first open source project was in 1997. I've been at this for 26 years.

Recently I've been working on a major update to one of my projects. However, I'm not going to "work in public" nor publish the source. I'm done with the yelling. I do these projects because I find them interesting. I don't enjoy the yelling.

Oddly, I physically met someone who was VERY vocal in postings. We had dinner together. He was a nice, intelligent, and oddly quiet kind of guy. His online personality and his "in person" personality were completely different.
