Some of us just do it because we enjoy the process and like to see the things we make get used by other people ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've never contributed to an OSS project with the goal of impressing an employer or padding a resume.

How do you pay your bills? Or do you just code like 23 hours a day?

No, but I do code sometimes in my spare time or I am sometimes able to utilize my work time to contribute if it's functionality my company needs from an open source project we're using. It's not like you have to sign up for 8-hour shifts in open source software development.
