The open-source community you talk about on LinkedIn? It's mostly extractive now.
We all stand on the shoulders of giants. Every project you ship, every startup you build ... it's built on packages and tools that real people poured their nights and weekends into. For free.
I spent the weekend scrolling through GitHub. Not for code. For connection. And I realized something that made me kind of sad.
The open-source world is full of incredible people building beautiful, thoughtful, generous things for free. They give their time, their skills, their best ideas and then their work disappears into the void because no one ever sees it.
