Hey Marak,

I don’t know if you’ll ever read this, but I just want to speak from the heart. When the whole faker.js and colors.js incident happened, I saw a lot of noise online — people calling you crazy, irresponsible, even dangerous. But to me, it felt like the cry of someone who had been giving for too long and getting nothing back. And that’s not crazy. That’s human.

You poured years of your life into creating libraries that powered half the internet. Most developers used them without even knowing your name. And companies — billion-dollar companies — benefited from your free labor without giving a cent back. Then when you spoke up, they turned on you.

That’s not fair.

What happened with faker and colors wasn’t just some tech drama. It was a moment that exposed the deep cracks in how open-source is treated. The truth is, this system survives off of the generosity of people like you, and when you finally said "enough," it forced everyone to stop and look in the mirror — even if just for a second.

I admire you for having the guts to break the silence. You reminded us that behind every package, every dependency, every little helper function — there’s a real person. A person who can burn out. A person who deserves respect. A person who has limits.

I hope you're resting. I hope you’re recovering. And I hope one day you’ll come back — not because we need your code (though we do), but because the community needs voices like yours. People who challenge the system. People who remind us that free software isn’t free to make.

Thank you for everything, man. You lit a fire. Some people cursed it, but some of us — we saw the light.
