I really enjoy the human element of open source: Introducing a new contributor to a system, reviewing code and giving feedback, diving deep into a usability problem a user tripped up on in order to find a solution. I will absolutely never criticise somebody for opening a PR - even if everything about it is wrong or broken - provided they're doing it in good faith. The idea that when going to this effort I might just be talking to a linguistic brick wall is just so damn depressing.

I have to wonder: do these people think they're being helpful?
Do they believe that they alone have such mastery over the machines that the rest of us need them to swoop down from a higher plane and bestow its heavenly insight upon us?
It's a bizarre sort of thing. They've simultaneously elected to neglect the use of their own brain, but seem to simultaneously believe that they alone should be the arbiter of which garbled word soup is worth someone else spending their time considering.
