The review of my year 2025: I created 533 PRs (1.5 PRs/day AVG). I created golangci-lint v2. I have fully revamped the golangci-lint documentation. I revived golines, and made it 14 times faster.

I reached the number of 180+ DNS providers supported inside `go-acme/lego`. I created two new projects (`ldez/gomodcachesize` and `ldez/structtags`). I reviewed hundreds of PRs, and answered to even more issues.

I'm maintaining a large number of OSS projects with different sizes. All my work is totally free and open source, and often invisible to the public. This year, I have worked every day, no vacations, no weekends.

Despite all this work, I live under the poverty threshold. This is 2026 and maintaining OSS projects used by thousands of people is still a sustainability challenge. I'm not alone in this situation, a lot of maintainers are struggling with it too.
