I made a Delphi component once. It was immediately modified in ways I disagreed with, renamed, and spread by someone else.

The person who did this didn’t even have a conversation with me about it before doing so.

This was before GitHub and forking and such, but it made me feel angry and unappreciated.

The code that went around was almost entirely my work.

I’m still bitter 25 years later and I’ve never contributed to Open Sores again.

It always seems to be the older generation that has this crappy immature attitude. I'm glad I have to work with less and less people like you.

Wow the guy the released his code for free which was used by others without giving him any credits and he is the one with crappy immature attitude.
