Does this guy know that a lot of people open-source code so that it might be useful for other people?

Not numbers of downloads or hoping to gain popularity, but to literally help the community.

I read other people’s open source code all the time to try and understand things. I can’t be the only one.

What a strange article. Can I not “pin” his repo at a specific version in my project, thus making it a stable dependency? If it’s small and readable, that’s just as good as writing it yourself. What is dying?
