Call me old but there was a time when “open source project” meant “I had a problem, this is my solution, if someone has the same problem then you are free to use my solution”.
These days is more:
- building personal brand
- showcasing your skills
- trying to outsmart somebody else, often because they didn’t merge your pr
- sometimes just having fun
And if you work for big org it’s also often “this looks vaguely similar to one of our epics so let’s start using it and demand 24/7 support”
