I don't know the right way to talk about burnout, but here we go. Helping build a developer community was not something I ever planned on doing. It kind of just... happened. And it's wonderful. It's a privilege to be part of a community that cares. To share any feedback, good or bad, requires non-zero energy. You could have done a million other things with your day, but you chose to help make a product I work on better. So, for that I'm really grateful. The way people talk online can really affect your mental state. And it's only online, developers are always so nice in person (even when you disagree). You might be thinking: just log off brah, delete the X app. And you're right, I could. But it's kind of part of the job. Hard to build an open source community if you don't respond to people on GitHub, right? It's impossible to build a great product if you're not comfortable receiving negative feedback. So, I try to assume good intent from everyone, stay positive and optimistic, and just keep building. When you spend years building something (a community, an open source project), it's hard not to let issues with the product weigh on you. I have a running list of all the things I want to improve with Next.js and Vercel — and working hard to try to do as many as I can. But sometimes the attacks aren't about the product. They're personal. And that... really sucks. It feels like a disservice to anyone who wants to build an open source community, or share things online, for me to not talk more openly about this. So I'm trying. I've went through phases of "community burnout" over the past four years, and have mostly managed to stay optimistic. I'm sure my wife is sick of me talking about Next.js 🤣 But yeah, I'm a little burnt out. The only thing you can really do is time take to reset. Luckily, I have some time off coming up soon. Looking forward to that. So yeah, if you're in this boat, my DMs are open if you want to talk about it.
