Open source sucks. You're either destined to work on everything alone or work on projects that are large enough to make 90% of the time spend the internal politics.

@martijnbraam True, but I've got paid for open source stuff as well; and for open stuff I do for fun I flip to projects whose politics dont annoy me.

@martijnbraam "You're either destined to work on everything alone or work on projects that are large enough to make 90% of the time spend the internal politics." There are some projects that are in the sweet spot. Midnight commander used to be one of them, Bangle.js is one such project today. https://github.com/espruino/BangleApps
