The timing of this post is a bit uncanny.

I left Github last week (removed all of my repositories) and made contributions private. I went further and removed all public mirrors on my personal site (along with all writing and projects on my site).

I have been growing tired of the open source community in general and with a particular distaste for the Github community (and company as a whole).

I won't get into all of my grievances and experiences simply because it doesn't matter and nothing will change.

I decided to focus on creating things for myself. I don't need your stars, green check marks, crappy pull requests and endless issues. Maybe some day I will find the spark to open my personal site back up, but it feels unlikely.
