#2PingCAP seems like a really neat project conceptually, my only concern with it is the attitude and overall rudeness of the maintainers. Issues submitted are often closed without comment, or in a number of cases when they do comment it is either "do not matter" or "who cares" I hope they can change their outlook and succeed.

I'm sorry you've had that experience. We are working hard to be better open source citizens in many ways, including better communication on issues, etc.

I'm sorry you had a bad experience with PingCAP.
I can't speak for PingCAP in general, but I know that many of PingCAP's Rust projects are part of the TiKV org [1], which is explicitly trying to become more community-oriented as part of their move into the CNCF (I work for PingCAP on TiKV). This message won't reach far, but if somebody finds themselves having difficulties contributing to TiKV or communicating with TiKV maintainers, and they speak up on the TiKV slack, somebody will definitely take notice and try to help.
Not knowing the specifics of your experience, it might help to consider that most of PingCAP are Chinese, and some communicate in English better than others. In public forums like the issue tracker, they write in English to include the global software development community, but for some it is quite challenging.
I'm hopeful that the PingCAP process will improve and their projects will become easier to contribute to.

You've made similar comments before [1] which were overstated at the time, do you have some github issues you can link to that clearly show what you're saying?

#7I would be curious to know if this is the best way to learn a technical skill using a course in github?
Are there other variations of using github for a course?

I just skimmed the closed issues on the github repo, and I didn't see anything which matched your description. Are there any specific examples you have in mind, which I might have missed?

#9On a related topic, what are other's favorite learning resources for applied distributed systems?

I am not associated with PingCap in anyway, but as an open source user & contributor myself, I find your comment quite offending. You raised the exact same issue 2 years ago on NH [1], that issue got fully addressed by both PingCap's core team member and other NH users. Without bringing in anything new to the problem being discussed, you chose to repeat the exact same stuff that has been fully addressed 2 years ago.
Sure, you might had the feeling that you were not treated in the most friendly way, but after 2 loooong years, after the feedback from PingCap's core team member, maybe time to just move on? If you really find PingCap is not friendly enough to the issues you raised (which is never the case to me or anyone I am aware of), you should probably start your own much more user friendly open source project and set an example for everyone.
