@quad learning to be a dev makes you a better sysadmin just like learning to be a sysadmin made me a better dev

@nolan I can totally relate. My solution is to hardly provide support at all to users - but I provide plenty of support to contributors. Everyone who contributes to my projects has their own agenda and their own list of things that are important to them (including me) and if there aren't any devs whose interests align with a user enough to fix their bug or implement their feature then that user is encouraged to write a patch themselves.
