This is the beauty of Open Source too. There is no "social contract" for you to provide "support" for any of your work to individuals you can clearly see are working for companies (just view their profiles). If you want to chill for 3 weeks and not write any code for your project, go ahead and do so. Any company or coder that depends on you and your code to earn his inflated-SV-salary job (or make millions for their SaaS) will have to deal with his/her boss (or investors) when he/she can't function without depending on you. The only time a "social obligation" is placed on you is when all these asshole companies rank you by "how much you contribute to Open Source" but if you had to ask many of them how much money they contribute as a percentage of benefits they derive from Open Source, it will probably be in the single-digits. The guys who wrote tools like "ls", "cd", "ping", "ssh", etc. are not sitting on Github answering questions to the millions of coders who use their tools everyday. StackOverflow is where those questions get answered by another "exploited" class of coders.
