This thread made me ask myself what this situation would be if instead “Patches welcome” we got “We need help with this”.

@dzwiedziu @weirdwriter @tess It depends. If you’re a multi-billion-dollar corporation like IBM, then the answer is “then hire the fucking help and pay them to fix this like you do for things you actually think are important for your bottom line.”

@aral
Not even getting there, but on a more interpersonal/communal level.
I think I've just imagined a situation where someone is conscious enough to ask for help when presented with a problem above their head.
