Did people forget that first impressions are important? I'm not reading your article if the first thing I see is an AI-generated image.

This post is """inspired""" by an experience the author had with a github maintainer. The github issue: https://github.com/shinyorg/shiny/issues/1533

The maintainer was respectful and helpful. They responded the same day the issue was made and diagnosed and explained the issue without even receiving a proper reproducible build link. They then answered follow up questions. What an amazing maintainer!

The author of this article is truly an asshole.
