alt Hacker NewsI could dig and fill in holes in my backyard for 8 years but that doesn't mean I created value or justified the time spent. The library has been good enough for widespread adoption since like 2020 at the latest - did it really need a team of 9 people working on it the last six years? What is there to show for that?

If there is no value in newer Tailwind versions, then why would anybody upgrade past 1.0? Clearly there is value that you don't recognize.
I mean, I'm not a Tailwind user so I don't either. But it's incredibly easy to take open source value for granted. That's why so many maintainers burn out.

Sure, but if you stop digging and filling in those holes nobody is gonna care. People clearly do care if Tailwind stops development, thats where this whole thing stemmed from; someone opened a PR and it wasn't getting merged in
