Edit: This attracted more downvotes than I had expected. What am I saying that is wrong here? Please comment. I'm not saying that family isn't also important —it is, I have one— just that I disagree with the opening hypothesis that open source is "ultimately unsustainable". It's completely sustainable both personally and commercially, it's just about finding your balance and as others have since said, reaching a point where you can delegate. --- That's an awful lot of crapping over the ethos of open source just to say "I've got better stuff to do". And all that assumes that time invested into running an open project is wasted. If you don't think your project is making the world an objectively better place, why the hell are you doing it? And that's not to mention the amount of work I've gotten off the back of being able to display my expertise. Seriously. Open source is an investment in the community and in yourself. Like any other investment, you can make bad investments and you can make good investments and still need to exit early because you need the [time] capital back. But that doesn't mean open source isn't good, has a place, isn't worth it.
