One of the most salient features of our Tech Hiring culture is that there is so much bullshit. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share. But we tend to take the situation for granted.
It's like cooking.
We sell our food to customers,
but we also share our recipes between us,
some follow the recipe line by line,
others interpret it in their own way
Contributing to Open-Source feels like dancing Tango:
it feels weird to interact like this with a total stranger
keep it simple and focus on making a connection
to really understand that social dance, be both a contributor and a maintainer
