Eh, I've submitted patches for everything from the kernel to bash scripts because of bugs I've run into at work that really affected us which we needed to fix ASAP.
Sure I didn't have to but isn't that the point of open source?
- hutzlibu 5y agoThere is a big cost of context switch. If you are such a genious, that you can just jump around in entirely different codebases fixing entirely different set of problems, in a way that actually improves things, than hats of to you, because I can't. I am not bored and I am fully occupied maintaining my own OSS codebase and I doubt some random dude could just come and fix a problem there (unless it is a really trivial one).
