Inspired by a tweet — https://twitter.com/jonhoo/status/1538210301484535808 — this video is a view into what regular, day-to-day open-source maintenance looks like. We review a few PRs to different project and triage some issues, all linked below, as well as discuss some of the challenges in being an OSS maintainer.
