> Pro tip: rename your development directory (or even better: the workspace path in CI) to put a space and/or special characters in it.

The problem with that is that YOUR code may handle it, but your tooling may not. If my code formatter break on spaces, I'm not going to change the formatter.

I could submit a PR to 5 tools a week on average. I actually have the time and resources to do it once a year.

Last week I opened a ticket for a Firefox bug. Following up on the bug took me 2 hours in total.

FOSS is not free, you pay it with your time. And as with everything you pay for, we all have a budget.
