Leading a large open source project must be terrible in this age of constant outrage :-(

It's not the outrage, it's the entitlement. People have always been outraged, the major difference I've seen is the rampant sense of entitlement. I'm not sure if it's a result of bad parenting or something else, but it's slowly becoming a major issue for the entirety of the human race.

Completely agree with you. Heck I realized I have the same entitlement issue after running into 2-3 people who were on higher spectrum of entitlement. I was having issue with their behavior but realized I do the same sometimes. I am trying to balance it out. The sad thing is people are not even aware that they have this issue.

I think social media is responsible for breeding this sense of entitlement among people.

I'm not sure it is social media, rather I think it's the price. Free or very cheap opens you up to a group of people you wouldn't normally have to deal with.
