I think this is the first time I've heard an OSS maintainer say that!
- inglor 7y agoI think that the micro-celebritism is tiring and toxic for our industry, most of my open source stuff is stuff other people could write and I'm just glad I have the privilege to help. I'm literally writing this comment from an airport at a country I wanted to visit and was flown into because of open source I wrote (they paid for a vacation for a conference). I'm having a hard time complaining :] It's not like maintainer burnout isn't real and there aren't issues in open source but we also really need to fix the culture around it IMO.
