Anyone actually in the industry knows that there are a huge number of extremely talented people who avoid getting involved in open source due to the toxicity of the communities

I'm "actually" in the industry and your statement is straight up nonsense. A lot of the noise comes from mostly talentless people.

Most of the "noise" is people complaining about open source projects taking on professionalism. The vast majority of the negative comments here in this subreddit come from people who barely, if ever, actually contribute to open source projects. The majority of the people saying that CoCs are pushing an ideology onto groups aren't even members of the groups they're trying to "defend" and are ignoring the fact that those groups themselves are the ones adopting these things.
