Sustainability is an important topic - also for software engineering. As an open-source maintainer I can tell you that burn-out and anxiety are real and a more healthy ecosystem around it is necessary.
This collection contains an outstanding variety of #posts and #articles in the #frontend #webdev space - also with some great write-ups on open-source development. I hope you'll find one or the other article of this issue worth reading!
