@indirect.io responded, kindly, and got his response deleted and banned from the discussion.

Maybe #bundler has become contributor hostile?

I’ve got so many things to say here, and not much time to say it

What I can say is, unlike dec -> early Jan, the last few weeks have been a period of quiet for me. I was talking before about how I had +700kloc then? It’s been zero the last few weeks.

GitHub - honeybadger-io/hbtui: Terminal UI for Honeybadger Insights dashboards. πŸ“ˆ Terminal UI for Honeybadger Insights dashboards. πŸ“ˆ - honeybadger-io/hbtui

I made a terminal dashboard for Honeybadger that lets you visualize your errors, logs, and performance metrics from the command line.

It's written in Rust and uses YAML dashboards you can export directly from HB.

You can install it with Homebrew β€” lmk if you try it!

Respectful Open Source Maintainer attention as a finite resource.

Andrew nails here many parts of what actually makes OSS maintaining hard work.

Empathy is needed more for OSS sustainability than money.

Most of the time the challenge is just finding the spec for the space... As long as it has a transition to XYZ we can use it. Farg is still fairly new so I'm not too sure what user adoption looks like just yet.
