A community that ridicules people asking questions or responds with “just read the source code” might as well just continue believing in “self-documenting” code.

From my time on discord I think what open source projects need to accommodate some users are full time HR-therapist-personal tutor type positions. People will show up to channels about development tools, ask the most insane questions ("Guys, how do yo build an operating system and/or browser?") and expect immediate answers. Anything other then the most apologetic, calculated, professional response is treated like a personal attack and used to denounce the entire project. I'm constantly amazed by the patience of some of the contributors (that do it for free BTW) and the concept of judging project by the PR skills of its developers still seams bizarre to me. For me the important thing was always the quality of documentation and code, not how nice the devs are to me. But hey, I guess I'm old and I didn't learn everything I know from ChatGPT.
