Ask HN: Have you regretted making something open-source?
Throwing random code over the wall is fairly harmless, until it sees any level of popularity, at which point you become the sole point of contact for a sea of people expecting bug fixes for free. That can be rewarding, but it can also be intensely draining.<p>Imagine looking at your personal inbox giving you the same feeling of dread as you'd expect looking at your work inbox after being off for a few weeks..<p>I'm currently trying to offload one project because it's getting too much, and just finding a new maintainer who knows C and Python to a decent standard has turned out difficult. None of the regular project users have stepped up. Shrugs
