This is the sort of toxic behavior in open source development that pushes minorities (and especially women) out.

@aud Definitely! I love and value doing things collaboratively, supporting people, etc. But that only works in an environment that also values those things; otherwise that behavior gets punished. (I guess I just accidentally boiled this down to an instance of the Prisoner's Dilemma.) And culturally we've built a lot of environments that don't share those values.

@[email protected] @[email protected] I was once forbidden from contributing code to a project I was supposed to be leading, but then had to spend half the quarter instructing the other person what to do and how we needed to implement it. I think he may well have tried to speak up for me... it didn't matter in the end.
It's definitely a culture+boss thing. I guess I should say it's not that I refuse to do it; it's that I'm not going to do it unless I know the culture is a good one. -
@aud @jamey Culture, and character strength of managers is crucial, I think. How performance is measured, too. I doubt we’d be as happy as we are, if they used raw data like git commits. Thankfully it’s more like “How much unscheduled downtime did we have?”, or “How many pentester tears did y’all collect?”

@[email protected] @[email protected] ooooh, that last one is a good metric

@aud @Gargron @thisismissem there are ways to credit multiple authors in a commit properly, and for anyone who pairs, know it and insist on it: https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/committing-changes-to-your-project/creating-and-editing-commits/creating-a-commit-with-multiple-authors

@aud @Gargron @thisismissem should be publicized WAY more imo. get yourself credited
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] I actually just quote boosted it so that I could pin it to my profile. It really, really does need to be more widely known!

@aud @inherentlee may I suggest posting that separately from this thread so you can teach people about it, without linking to some drama?

@[email protected] @[email protected] ah, solid idea. still drinking coffee... thank you!

Is this particular kind of theft prevented with a license that requires attribution? Genuine question as someone who doesn't write code.

@mikefordays @aud no. this isn't a licensing issue. This is a collaboration and communication issue.
