Open source developers are facing severe burnout: unpaid work, toxic communities, and hyper-responsibility are pushing maintainers to the brink ⚠️
73% report burnout; 60% considered leaving.
Companies relying on OSS must fund, respect, and support maintainers to sustain critical infrastructure 🛠️

Salvatore Sanfilippo (creator of Redis, and more) published a beautiful video inspired by my latest blog post. I was really pleased! It's in Italian, but auto-generated English audio track is available.
Suppose I want to find an interesting project to contribute to on Codeberg. How's that done?
I assume something like this would be nice:
- search through all issues
- restrict to "help wanted" or similar issue labels
- filter by projects implemented mainly in programming language ...
This does not exist, afaict. Or does it?

Can you grieve a #programming or #oss contribution?
Sigh. I think I'm going to have to give up on my attempt to port "NextSpace" -- a #Next like UI + file browser + Apps to #freebsd because of non-firing dispatch queues.
If anyone has expertise here can can unstick me, I"ll tilt at the windmill again, but for right now I'm stymied and am using LLMs as a crutch to punch above my weight class (thoughtfully).
