I've been interviewing various #OpenSource maintainers and UX designers and the same patterns keeps emerging:
1. Tech Debt makes everything take longer
2. It's REALLY hard to get everyone onboard
3. Discussing #UXDesign is often a shitshow
4. People try roadmaps but they usually get blown up
5. #FOSS is just a slower process
This is no different than commercial software! But there just doesn't seem to be the broader will to actually solve these problems. Teams just seem to 'cope along'
