What exactly is not true about my entirely personal statement? I simply find barrier to entry for non-GitHub projects to be too high for me to bother.

Great if you disagree and I'm sure there are some others, but I would be willing to be you're the minority.

So after how many minutes do you give up chasing a bug?

How big of a barrier is writing tests or documentation?

Or setting up the whole environment to actually build something pulled from Github?

You know that some Github projects have nasty things in them like Makefiles, and all that code and configuration requries tedious text editing.
