427 Views Alain Schlesser: The Cost of Contribution
Joining such a welcoming and inspiring community as is the WordPress project can be exhilarating and makes people want to contribute their part to join the movement and strengthen their feeling of belonging. The initial enthusiasm can easily lead to contributors slowly spiraling into overcommitment and a feeling of obligation and responsibility towards the project. There’s a cost attached to anything we do, even when we’re talking about unpaid volunteer work done in the spare time. And that cost will be paid in some way, no matter what. We need to more openly talk about the adverse effects of doing open source contributions in an unsustainable way, destigmatize the money topic when it comes to “”free”” software and directly address immediate issues of frustration and burn-out as they surface. Let’s all have our fellow contributors’ backs, and make sure we’re all in it for the long run!

As an added bonus, you will have an antidote for that voice in your head that says silly things like “but I’m not technical” or “I’m not a coder” as a way of avoiding leveling up.

401 Views 'F**kin' size of that!' Scottish man hilariously documents big things in Big Apple
Marc, on a family trip to New York City from his hometown in Glasgow, Scotland, noticed how big things in the Big Apple were and made this incredibly funny compilation all with one refrain: "f*ckin' size of that!" "I recorded the first video and thought nothing more of it than a stupid joke," Marc told Newsflare. "When we made it to the Statue of Liberty, I did it again, and this time my family saw the video and started to laugh. I got a few messages from friends as the videos were on my Instagram story, and then I decided to make it into a series - anytime I saw something big, I captured it. Being from Glasgow, we don’t get big building[s] like that so for me everything was massive!" Marc said in this hilarious video from September 27.
