Thanks to those of you who were able to find the Hardwick Hub at #StateOfOpenCon and came to my talk, "I inherited this project, and all I got was all these angry users" - slides can be found 👆🏼 or in PDF form on Sched #soocon25 - would be happy to hear some tired maintainer stories from y'all too!

@www.jvt.me Loved the talk, some of the example comments sounded very familiar!

I think my worst/best tired maintainer story was dealing with a user who was very insistent I urgently fixed a minor CVE introduced by a depdencency, with a suggested fix that would have introduced a bigger problem (segfault in extremely specific conditions vs timestamps suddenly changing timezone).

Oof yeah, that's a difficult one - it's not always "easy" to fix something without something else breaking, or breaking someone's workflow
