> Is It Even Worth Working on FOSS Anymore? They are putting it wrong. You do not work on open source for compensation, but because you want to. People who got into opensource with sole aim at scoring high profile job with some dotcom make no good for the state of opensource community. Big, high profile open source projects die from maintainer/contributor dilution who confuse supporting an oss project with full time job. There is a critical mass limit of such people introduced into OSS projects, past which irreversible "toxicity chain reaction" starts. Then "Foundations," "Steering Committees," "CoC councils" start to grow like barnacles on the body of the project, and it soon dies because normal people can't, and wont do this stuff.
