    I’m a developer, I have some open source projects I don’t have the time to invest in… I’d probably shift like 40% of my time to that open source projects.

      I’m with you on the 40% thing. If I didn’t need to put in 40hrs to get my health insurance, I would absolutely work on several smaller tasks instead of 1 big job, just to avoid the burnout that comes with doing the same thing for those long stretches of time. It also gives us context and allows us to make connections that we may not otherwise make.
