SourceHut / Sir_Cmpwn deserves all the support he can get. I don't know if you realize that this guy is earning 10 times less that what he could earn by accepting any of the job knocking at his door. But instead he chose to be a full time free & open source developer financed only by people donations and SourceHut (which is 100% open source too)
Moreover there is very frequently on HN "Github is introducing feature X" or "Company Y is announcing product Z" where those company are multi billlionaire making money by exploiting people data and abusing their monopoly. And all you find to do is be rude about SourceHut, developed by an independent, which is 100% open source, which contains no analytics and respects you
- Crinus 7y agoObviously independent developers are supposed to slave away at big companies that pradvertise their products on HN, not make attempts to escape and work for themselves - at most they can work passionately for a VC-backed startup on some free product until that is bought by one of said big companies for reasons unknown. But working for oneself independently is immoral and something to be frowned upon.
