Everybody should contribute to open-source, the same way every writer should publish things just for the sake of publishing to be read. It doesn't have to be a long article or a huge full-stack project, but both show a commitment to producing art not solely done for the sake of generating revenue. It's not a bad thing to do that, but it shows a further care for your work to render it with that accessibility of openness.
Devs who build OSS in a way have a brand to maintain. And again.. a commitment.
To build OSS is to intertwine yourself with a work, because the day you abandon it is generally the day it becomes legacy tech, hence the term abandonware.
So, why not an open-source collective, of like-minded individuals working together solving common goals?
At Manic Agency, we host and operate the self-managable open-source Synthetic Publishing Platform, or, The Rabbit Hole, at https://manic.agency/blog.
See more information about that: https://manic.agency/blog/tutorials/contribute.
For most of my serious open-source works and published writings, rather than being posted on this personal website, you will see them hosted at Manic and The Looking Glass.
