In this special episode of "debug:mind", I chat with Mike McQuaid, a leading figure in the open-source community and co-founder of Workbrew. We discuss the challenges of maintaining open-source projects while safeguarding mental health. Mike shares his strategies for setting boundaries, dealing with toxic behavior, and staying motivated. We also touch on the importance of community engagement and the benefits of therapy.

In debug:mind, I talk with other people in tech about their own mental health journey, hoping that sharing our experiences can help you deal with your own challenges.
