What Hacker News says?
How can you begrudge me my opinion when the only facts I have corroborate it? http://blog.steveklabnik.com/posts/2010-09-24-trolling-is-a-... This post was from 2010 where he admits he's a jerk and can't help it. I think that pretty clearly is a victory for my thesis.

HN discussionIt's astonishing how somebody's earnest hard work, put out in the world for all to see and benefit from, draws so many unmitigated assholes out of the woodwork.

HN discussionSteve Klabnik: "I find it incredibly hard not to be judgmental. I'm not sure what part of my personality makes this happen, but even when I try to curb tearing down other people, I end up doing it anyway. I'm not sure if it's just me, but I think part of the problem is that these kinds of things are rewarded." http://blog.steveklabnik.com/posts/2010-09-24-trolling-is-a-...

HN discussion"Most of being nice, in a software context, is about being considerate. Not unnecessarily trash talking other people's stuff. Not going out of your way to be a jerk. Try to be helpful. Treat others how you want to be treated" - http://blog.steveklabnik.com/posts/2011-08-19-matz-is-nice-s... What can I say?

HN discussionI'm just a js dev with a whole lotta love for the web. I know enough to respect the hell out of Rust. I'd just like to offer my best wishes to the Rust community, and put a call for folks to be more civil on places like reddit, etc. In closing, here's a nice little gem from the OP author's final blog post on his old blog[0]: > if there’s one thing I’ve learned from writing software, it’s to blog about error messages…

HN discussionI am sure Steve would say this as well (because he has said it many times). Start by improving the documentation of helping to regress bugs. These two items while seemingly inconsequential are actually a huge help to the core team and all developers who actually use rails (especially awesome documentation). Once you get a certain level of familiarity with the way Rails is built, find a small bug and follow the contr…
