> Yet. The things that truly succeed find a way to evolve, scale and grow by learning to include contributors in a way that make them owners This is well said. Maintainers need to grow their communities by allowing contributors to take ownership of components (this can be done with technical things like modular design that predicts future ways that things will be used, or by building good relationships with contributors), and they also need to have a clear vision for the things that their project is and is not. It’s definitely a balance because if you are perceived as saying no too much and the community doesn’t understand or doesn’t accept your reasoning, then the project may stop growing and you’ll have less help to build the things you want to build.
