In late 2022, Tidelift fielded its second survey of open source maintainers. Hundreds of maintainers responded with thoughts about getting paid for their work, the security and maintenance practices they have in place for their projects, and where they need help most, along with a host of other interesting insights.
In the sixth of eleven insights of this year’s survey, we asked maintainers what they enjoy about being an open source maintainer and compared the answers to the ones received in our 2021 survey.
The number one answer in this year’s survey was “getting to work on projects that matter to me,” which was cited as something enjoyed by a remarkable 83% of maintainers, up from 59% in our previous survey.
To read more insights from our sixth headline, visit our blog, and to read maintainer responses to all eleven insights, you can download the full survey report right now.
Want the TL;DR? We’re hosting a live webinar on Thursday, May 18 at 3 p.m. ET when Tidelift’s resident data nerd Chris Grams shares the most interesting bits. RSVP here.
