After a extremely long week, I sometimes participate in open source. I have to deal with malicious commits. I have to follow up on issues from misguided individuals who are actually looking for tech support. I have to guide new contributors to how this massive repo works and to submit tests. I have to negotiate with the core team and these convos can often last months/years.

And contributing to open-source is one of the few things that give me pleasure, even if it’s a extremely thankless job.

But I’m tired man.

I’m not dealing with low-quality memers who are providing zero value. Nor should we encourage it.
