    I am a designer with 20 years of experience. I’ve tried contributing to FOSS, but the developers are incredibly stubborn and work purely guided by their own assumptions. Hence the horrible UX on so much FOSS. There are more than enough design people that would love to contribute, but are met with nothing but ridicule and insults.

      That has not much do to with FOSS but with the people you are working with. Proprietary software you can’t even contribute freely to begin with

      This has been my experience as well but as a coder.

      I can’t count the number of contributions I’ve made, many of them minor. I’m talking 20-30 lines of code max.

      I can count on two hands the number that have been either accepted or declined for a legitimate reason.
