I feel like there's a broader context that I'm not aware of. Like what's the history here. Who are the players. Why does it seem like there are in-crowd devs and out-group devs and what, if any, are the philosophical differences that led to that schism. What are the major software projects that help color in the picture better.

it's apathy or jealously from people that don't get funding, people that see others traveling and aren't able to do it themselves, people seeing relationships and connections being made and aren't able to do it themselves. it's really sad and it's been a theme for three years. most people just ignore them. most devs cringe about it privately. many laugh and think they're being silly. it's just dumb and im tired of saying it's not.
