It's kind of hard to feel happy about something that: - Takes very little time or energy - Makes you no income - Doesn't usually lead to friendships - Doesn't require much intelligence, to be truthful There's no self-actuation, no challenge, no engagement, and ultimately no reward. It's just become routine, something I do to pass the time when not writing code for a client or when I need to unwind after a long day. I'm aware that it's a contribution and it does matter to some people, but I'll never capture any of those $ of value anyway so it's hard to get worked up over it. I think the most valuable thing I've done for open source in the past year was send the guy who runs dotdeb one of the items on his Amazon wish list as a thanks for making the release candidates for PHP 7 available on Debian Jessie. In the grand scheme of things, the needle remains unmoved.
