Actual quote by "a Python Software Foundation fellow and contrib- utor to Python infrastructure projects"
What frustrates me most is that we have an all-time high of Python developers and an all-time low on high quality contri- butions.[...] As soon as pivotal developers like Armin Ronacher slow down their churn, the whole community feels it immedi- ately. The moment Paul Kehrer stops working on PyCA we’re screwed. If Hawkowl stops porting, Twisted will never be on Python 3 and git. So we’re bleeding due to people who cause more work than they provide. [...] Right now everyone is benefitting from what has been built but due to lack of funding and contributions it’s deteriorating. I find that worrying, because Python might be super popular right now but once the consequences hit us, the opportunists will leave as fast as they arrived Book: ROADS AND BRIDGES: THE UNSEEN LABOR BEHIND OUR DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE Link, Page 76 link: https://www.fordfoundation.org/media/2976/roads-and-bridges-the-unseen-labor-behind-our-digital-infrastructure.pdf >
