I am actually looking forward to hearing from the people here. Yeah Low-effort I know.

But I think this is an important topic to discuss, considering how much of the FOSS community is kept afloat by unpaid & volunteer-labour.

I am especially looking forward to any discussions of possible solutions

    I want to be a maintainer and help out but I just know it’ll be exhausting. I swap languages/projects all the time. I was on the DB (OLAP), architecture, GenAI and DevOps teams just this year alone. The context switching is really bad. I still would like to contribute but I’d want to pick a project that I used semi-regularly and it’s hard to identify when I’m so scatter-brained :/
