This. I've open-sourced a couple of tools throughout the years and all it's done is prove to me that I don't have the emotional energy to deal with it. I still get emails that somehow both call me a piece of s&#t but still asking me to add features to a piece of software that's been irrelevant for 7+ years... I found the same thing when I would play music publicly - I love music, I hate the audience. Writing a piece of software for other devs/SWEs to consume is often hell - we are a demanding, incredibly opinionated, pissy bunch of folks. (I say that last bit 110% self-aware that historically I'm part of the problem.)
