I loved this conversation with John-David Dalton, author of Lodash, and one of the most genuine and fun people I've ever worked with (across 3 companies!), about open source and burnout. If you listen to nothing else, listen to the last 10 minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbWx6sdhq7I&t=1975s

I've had a lot of conversations with JD, and he really is that person who will geek out about tech stuff and just wants to work on fun projects. These are the people building the open source commons, and it's really easy to forget that they are *people*, and that sometimes life (somewhat rudely) intrudes on your fun hobby project.
