Hello, I’ve seen a lot of opensource projects grow, since the start with one or few founders, to a real community. But I’m forever intrigued by what motivates these people, with maybe regular jobs, to sacrifice hours and hours of personal time, to code an opensource ai solution or whatever? Please don’t give me the for humanity answer, I know there are some passionate people who are addicted to coding on behalf of anything else, but they’re minority, so I’d love to know motivators of the other category of people that are normal humans tired after work. Thank you!
