That’s exactly it. I’m a parent working a full-time job and I’m easily overwhelmed by what I would have considered to be simple processes 20 years ago. All these simple and totally “easy” processes add up and – oops it’s 11:30pm already and I had been feeling exhausted since 10am… There’s an hour before I pass out — what will I do with it? This thread is about how we can reduce overhead; for me that would mean to have certain checks automated, or to have commit messages be generated so I only need to read them to sign off on them, etc. We all may gain from streamlining our processes. Personally, I see the biggest problem in a lack of effective tools for reviewers, which results in stretching out contribution interactions over weeks, months, or years. This, to me, would be a way to increase the weight of the rewards on the unbalanced scales that are overwhelmed by chores on the other side. -- Ricardo
