I understand everyone is under pressure, and I wish you all the best. Especially if we disagree on things, I am often wrong.

I feel that everything I had hoped to gain from writing FLOSS is slowly but surely eroding. My freedom and joy are being soaked up by intense pressures, both internal to FLOSS and external.

Software will get worse before it gets better. Burnout could push maintainers to lower their standards and embrace "AI". Hardware will continue to complexify.

Where does this end?
