Je viens de lire cet article du créateur de requests, sur ce que maintenir un grand package open source lui a coûté en termes de santé mentale : https://kennethreitz.org/essays/2026-03-18-open_source_gave_me_everything_until_i_had_nothing_left_to_give
Ça tape juste, c'est vraiment très bien écrit et ça m'a complètement retourné le bide. Prenez soin de vous, tous autant que vous êtes. Être bons dans ce métier signifie aussi être particulièrement vulnérables au mal qu'il peut nous faire.

> The things that make you a great open source contributor (hyperfocus, intensity, pattern recognition, the ability to hold entire systems in your head) overlap significantly with the things that make certain psychiatric conditions both more likely and harder to detect. The community will celebrate your output without ever asking what it costs you to produce it. That's not malice. It's just a system that optimizes for code, not for the person writing it.

Truth there.
