Sure, but the problem there (as the linked article discusses) is that he didn't say that's what he was doing.
$30k isn't a huge sum, but you still need some transparency and accounting. A line item saying "it all went to me, to reimburse me for all the work I'm doing on the project" is fine, but you still need the line item so people can evaluate it.
- AgentME 7y agoUnless he had said otherwise, I'd think "it all went to me" is the default for the entirety of funds sent to him on a donation page on his own site with his name on it. Maybe he could have been more explicit that it was a salary for him to spend time on Requests, not some team, but that doesn't seem like something to demonize him over. The article does raise some good concerns of whether he claimed on the donation page to work on things he wasn't personally going to do. I just think a few of the article's angles are pretty flawed and uncharitable.
