> Shopping around for something to work on without having a personal problem to solve seems like putting the cart before the horse. I assume that's not why people want to do it. They must already have a personal problem. So, what is it, what's the motivation to have a "career" in "open-source"? I mostly agree with you but I think you've failed to think from a beginner's point of view. My problem is that most of the things I consider bugs are deliberate project decisions. For example, Moxie absolutely refuses to make it easy for Signal for Android to work well with Google Voice. It is completely idiotic and makes no sense whatsoever because Signal for iPhone supports this (there is no way for Signal to access verification text messages itself so it allows people to enter the verification number themselves). However, they refuse to allow this on Android. Just look at this stupidity: https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/213980898-How-does-Signal-work-with-my-Google-Voice-number- https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/213980898-How-d... Actually, most of the article is sensible but the decision to not allow people to type in their verification code that they have and forcing them to answer a phone call is completely idiotic. And no, I cannot afford to fork Signal for this bug. >_>
