Usually it's, "so what exactly do you do?" 😆 I've never been able to give a direct answer because the truth is I've been up to a mishmash of various open-source initiatives in bitcoin. I could never think of a succinct way to respond. Well, I still don't have a succinct way, but I have taken the time to provide an answer.

reading the differences between "open source" and "open-source" and it's way more confusing to me than "bitcoin" vs. "Bitcoin"

Why yes my 9 month pregnant self will be sitting down to brush my teeth instead of standing. No further questions will be taken.
