When I was younger, I always thought computing was so incredibly cool, because me, just some blind kid in Florida, could contribute and make things and share things and just ...participate. I would talk to friends trying to go in to other careers, and excitedly talk about what I was working on and be curious why they never did anything related to what they wanted to do when they grew up.
Now, I understand how this comes about, bit by bit, with the best of intentions.
And I hate it.
Please, just no. If you want to set up a corporate only, super-sekret clubhouse of a PyPi that only the authorized developers can push to, well, the source code for PyPi is right here[0]! And here's Stripe[1]! But please don't break even more of the open, free Internet that I grew up with, I'm pleading with you.
