Deborah Preuss, pcc 🇨🇦"Nobody in the open source community talks about this because the survivors go quiet & the ones who don't survive aren't around to write essays.
I am tired of the silence around this. Open source culture celebrates intensity … the all-night hack session, the prolific contributor, the person who maintains 50 projects & keynotes 10 conf's a year. What it doesn't celebrate, what it actively looks away from, is what that intensity does to people who are wired differently."

I really appreciate the vulnerability that comes with writing something like this and releasing it to the public. We need to do a better job of recognizing these traits and supporting one another. 💕 https://kennethreitz.org/essays/2026-03-18-open_source_gave_me_everything_until_i_had_nothing_left_to_give
