Excellent talk about burnout in open source by @mirandahMiranda Heath. She quotes @django co-creator and Board member @jacobjacobian,

“I wasn't getting paid to do the work that I felt like I had to do, and I had to do the work that I was getting paid to do because like mortgages and bills and car payments and that sort of stuff, so I had to do like double work one out of a feeling of obligation and one out of a feeling of like, we live in a capitalist society and I need money.’”
