I am lucky to combine open-source and work but this doesn't mean that those issue don't affect us. Endless stream of issues, anger and expectations is a norm. I love open-source and at the same time sometimes it feels like my work just makes people angry. Every time that angry to-be users shows up, I am trying to remind myself that for every one of them there are hundredths or thousands of happy ones. It is also important to find a balance on what you work on. Will resolving this issue solve problem of many users, how many, is it the aim of a project. Other important value is being able to say no. "Sorry, this is not issue of this project", "No, this feature doesn't align with the aim of a project" and even in case of PRs (which is extremely hard as someone put quite a work into it) you sometimes have to say no. This might be the hardest part of maintaining open-source, this and noise overload. There is no input filter, if you are luck other contributors will step in and act as one but it isn't sustainable either.
