This post is heavily inspired by my experience over the last ten years participating in the open source community and eight years as a maintainer of Homebrew (which I’ve maintained longer than anyone else at this point).
Post from 2018 but still valid.

There are thousands of you and me who work around the clock to prevent the internet from blowing up all the time.
A lot of people can't handel the constant stress, terrible hours, it takes a toll on each of us.
Softening responses, good for sure, but the demands put on the pioneers of tech, much respect -- we wouldn't be where we are without them in spite of their very real human limitations. Much props for their daily self sacrifice.
I think that falls under "Burnout Management"
