I'm going to touch on this in a longer, more thought-out piece, but: the way we treat developers, particularly ones new to this network, is often garbage.
We're so quick to blame people over things like consent mechanisms or implementation details that we literally bully them off the network, without ever wondering whether there's more to the story. This actively hurts our ecosystem, to the point that it hurts one of the greatest resources for our network.
Have you ever considered that maybe the existing mechanisms are actually incredibly broken, poorly thought-out, and not actually well-surfaced to people in the first place? That there's lots of people that would love certain functionality, but it's never occurred to them that they have to opt-in to use it?
