One FOSS maintainer lesson for your younger self

Start small, focus on one thing at a time, and don't be afraid to ask for help.

Why do you do it? Why do you bother maintaining a FOSS project?

Education should be free, and I'm stubborn enough to spend my nights making sure it stays that way.

Which file in your project would you most like to set on fire?

Markdown files, because git is not a good tool for content management.

What's your open-source villain origin story?

The idea of collaborating with humans thousands of kilometers away, whom I have not met IRL, probably never will – but still being able to just trust with feedback and opinions is liberating. Got into a traditional CS degree, and job—discovered Three.js and freeCodeCamp in 2015 as part of skilling up for the day job. I was hooked. Quit corporate life to do FOSS and education full-time. Never looked back.

If you had to use one emoji to convey what it is like to be a FOSS maintainer, what would it be?
