I really love seeing technical leaders talk personally like this. E.g., "I badly underestimated the amount of emotional effort and attention that it was going to require". When I started, I felt like I couldn't admit to anything so human. And not just in public, but even to myself. That had an enormous cost.

Software is a human enterprise. Especially so open-source software, where so many people do it out of love, not from fear that they'll lose their house. It's really heartening to me how much people are explicitly discussing the human experience of contributors these days, and I hope we keep going in this direction.
