obsession of rewriting stuff from zero instead of maintaing existing solutions
It's a control fantasy where the lead developer can't find a single thing that isn't a non-solution for a project they do not own and refuse to accept its completeness, and then gets told that's all they propose and will be ignored because they aren't actually fixing jack shit.
A lot of this comes from the existing stuff having 0 comments, no one to explain it to you, so you're left with (depending on the size of the project) days of looking through files, testing things, jumping around in your IDE because everyone makes everything an object.
Too much unpaid wasted time. If you have to take the time to engineer what people's code is doing by fucking around with bits of it, you probably have the time to make your own and you also have a chance of monetizing it.
I've wanted to add some simple things to some projects and I asked the devs for assistance with finding where the fuck it's being done in the code because nothing has normal names, there's no comments, but I was basically told "don't you have an IDE?". Nigger you already allegedly know your code, can't you just fucking tell me a general direction to look through your hundreds of files and imports?
It's annoying, fuck them, why would I contribute my time and knowledge to their project? They can reverse engineer
my code and waste their time if they want to implement it the same way.
Sure, they shouldn't take the time to teach every Sam and Andy asking intricate details about the code, but it's not like there's a line of developers wanting to contribute to a lot of these projects, and if you already know the information it takes as much energy to write it out as it does to ask if I have an IDE. No wonder the dev feed for so many of them is just the original dev.
