Yes. That sounds reasonable.
The problem comes that, as with many things, people like to live others' values for them. People become unreasonable. My friend was worried that he'd lose the respect, unreasonably in my view, of the community for not doing the "right thing", which in his view was dealing with a feature and set of PRs that were not on the roadmap to happen just now. And that word "sell out" - his word - for asking to be paid for his time was the root fear.
- jamiesonbecker 9y agoUnderstood completely and agreed.. but (almost) everyone has to 'sell out' by taking a job. A bit of reticence in this area is noble but perhaps misplaced, and people who get at least somewhat comfortable in asking for other people's money (aka selling out) might tend to not have as many concerns about money or pull requests. ;)
