> When you open source something, you are basically volunteering to write code

thank you for the opportunity to clarify...

YOU - an individual coder; OpenSource - a publication with license for others; Write Code - specialized skills with high literacy; Volunteering - social arrangement with time and resources.

You - Write Code - OpenSource => volunteering

when code is made OpenSource, the origins of the code over time are due to more than one person

when code is made OpenSource, benefits are primarily to systems, less so to the individual

to understand the decision to make OpenSource code, the systems that benefit extend to Five Areas (for example, to quote https://paulfuhlir.com/ ) .. listed above

does that make it clearer ?
