> Oops, if you could make a quick PR to fix that it'd be great!
You might get some seemingly strange or flippant reactions to this, and since you wrote it, I figured you might benefit from some insight into why some people might react negatively.
GP pointed out a tiny bug in good faith. Your reply asking them to fix the bug they found in your code comes across (to me, I'm sure not everyone sees it this way!) as a little presumptuous or entitled, I think because there's no expectation in this context that GP was signing up to "do work" (check out the repo, make a change, submit a PR to you) for your project.
A less... feather-ruffling response might have thanked GP for the bug report and maybe also mentioned the repo link in case GP or anyone would like to contribute, vs. straight-up asking GP to do the work.
Maybe someone else can weigh in with more detail. Or disagree vehemently with the vibes I'm trying to illuminate :)
I think it's cool when websites are editable. If I found a typo on a site, I'd enjoy the overall experience of fixing it myself more than asking it to be fixed. I realize not everybody is the same.
Not sure how the original message was phrased, but if it was anything along the lines of: “If it bothers you, you can also submit a PR here” then I don’t see the issue.
I vouched for this comment because even though it's phrased kinda aggressively, it's also not wrong. Best case scenario it shows a profound lack of social awareness and competence in interpersonal dynamics. Probably something for him to work on.
EDIT: removed link to the source code with a suggestion to file a PR. I have apparently erred.
EDIT 2: the fix is deployed.
