One FOSS maintainer lesson for your younger self
Don't try to build everything yourself, ask for help, ask people who are interested to contribute. The bigger the community, the better. Don't be attached to the code you write, or be stubborn on your solutions, the community will always give you better solutions so be ready to listen.
Why do you do it? Why do you bother maintaining a FOSS project?
Because almost everything I build stands on the foundation of open source—languages, libraries, tools—all made possible by the work of others who chose to share. Giving back feels like the natural next step. The project I maintain is built for the social sector—organizations and individuals working on real-world challenges, often with limited resources. Open sourcing it makes it accessible to those who need it most. If my work can help them do their work better, that’s a win worth all the effort.
