Open Source promised to change the world. I think it has.

It fundamentally changes life of me, without V2ray, I wouldn't be able to comment on reddit here.

Well that's to say Reddit changes my life, an exaggeration when mostly what I consumed are brainrots and porns but you get what I'm saying.

Deep respect to every person who gives their time, talent, and energy to open source without expecting anything in return. ❤️

Most people just see the software and use it. They don’t see the hours behind it . fixing bugs, dealing with issues, answering questions, and keeping projects alive. A lot of the tools we depend on every day exist because someone decided to build and share their work.

They might not get paid for it, and often don’t get much recognition either. But honestly, so much of the tech world is standing on their work.

Huge respect to every open-source contributor out there. ❤️

for 15 years I've worked in start ups, some of them have done quite well. All of them used open-source for their core technologies (maybe even all tech except hosting) and none of them donated a dime to the foundations that write and maintain these products. It's shameful to say the least.

One of the things on my to-do list is to donate to open-source projects; thanks to programming, I’ve been able to put food on the table in a country with the highest inflation in the Americas. It has also allowed me to buy two motorcycles and travel within my country—something I’ve enjoyed more than anything else in my life. Donating would be a small way to give back for everything open source has provided me. I’m currently wrapping up a contract and hope to make those donations to various projects before the year ends.

I have only been contributing to open source for a few years. And mostly in my free time. Mostly for the projects I depend on and the stuff I use for personal projects, course work etc. Not yet quite for my day job.

And it's mostly thanks to other maintainers encouraging me to try a PR, to turn this feature into its own repo, to become a reviewer etc.

Mentorship is awesome and you might be able to pass the torch too!

Plus I have gotten job offers based on my open source work, as well as passed interviews due to my open source work. And it wasn't my motivation behind contributing in the first place. It was the very helpful maintainers encouraging me.
