frustaration

You know what's really frustrating me? There are many open source programs and libraries that haven't maintained in months or years. Yes, there are many active projects in the community, but the code is so deprecated that it's decaying some really amazing projects lately. I can see people focusing on more pressing matters in these times, this goes for programmers too. Like a luxury we can't really fit into our time budget. I've tried to bring several projects up to date over the past few months and I feel like everything is a mess of warnings, errors, dependency issues and the like. It's frustrating! End rant. Thanks for reading. -weirdpercent
