I've personally known people who strongly exhibit these symptoms. There is no accountability (and no "good faith" arguments) for such people and I notice a seemingly similar pattern of thought in the linked blog post. Some excerpts which seem to intentionally shift blame:
> It’s a peculiarity of GitHub, to put it mildly, that making a repo private permanently deletes all watchers and stars.
> GitHub’s conceptual model treats users and organizations as very similar entities when it comes to profiles and repos.
> The problem is that the box looks exactly the same for repos with no commits and stars and for repos with a decade-long history and 55k stargazers and watchers.
I could go on. Anyway, just trying to offer another voice in agreement. Also, that particular call-out of "psychological disease" is especially notable to me for personal reasons. (Not that I'm intending to diagnose this specific blogger; just that the tone of the blog post indeed seems to be blame-shifting, which is a characteristic behavior of those with NPD.)
