@icing@chaos.social a thing I'm still grieving is the world where when someone reported a bug/vuln it was typically because either A) they were a user of the software, and bumped into the issue B) they thought harder about the code than I had when I wrote it, and found something overlooked. Some combination of those factors helped alleviate the feeling of "damn, I fucked up". I'm all for improving things but the wave of input from drive-by "people" that are both divorced from the purpose/use of the software, and have also spent no time doing any real analysis of their own sucks... It wears you down in a uniquely new way and there's nothing compensating for the negative feelings.
