It’s a clear, bright and harsh October sun

I feel scared I have so much debt to pay
Like a bad dream that never goes away

One interesting thing about Open Source is that one is probably never prepared. You might encounter tricky technical problems, or have to keep up with the new technologies, but there are also a bunch of things other than coding that you have to deal with. You have to be your customer support to answer questions; be a designer, a writer to prepare nice documentation; a project manager to keep the project on track; a team leader to onboard new contributors and keep the team motivated; marketing your stuff; speaking at conferences; and so on. Those are the “side-
effects” of being an open source developer, many things come to you in a bundle, not only the code.
