If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend Henry Zhu's (Babel core team) talk from React Rally[1]. He talks candidly about the struggles of maintaining an extremely popular library and the demands and stress it puts on his life; especially now that he quit his job to work on Babel full time.
If your company uses Babel (which it probably does), please donate to Henry[2] or at the least, send him a thank you for his work.
Henry is a wonderful person, and this talk was excellent. I second the recommendation.
I posted my own thoughts about over-committing and potential burnout a few months back: https://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/2018/06/redux-writing-resp... . Since then, I've stepped back from trying to keep up with recurring treadmill tasks like cataloging articles and links, and am focusing my maintainer time on some specific Redux/React-Redux issues. Feeling a lot better as a result.
If your company uses Babel (which it probably does), please donate to Henry[2] or at the least, send him a thank you for his work.
