Ah, feross again. This is the guy behind the npm 'funding' fiasco. He wants to (and did) put ads in your terminal: https://github.com/standard/standard/issues/1

_Some people_ might have you believe that if free software isn't generating ad revenue, or isn't being relicensed for cloud deployments to make gobs of money, then it's somehow "unsustainable."
I disagree, and choose to disregard most projects that behave this way.
- dang 7y agoYou appear to have posted this just because he is the submitter of the article. Is that true? If so, that's crossing into personal attack, which is not allowed here.
- branon 7y agoNot meant to attack. I thought it was funny to see an article of this specific tone. Made sense after I realized who OP was. I don't dislike the guy, I just know his views, and choose to contest them.
- dang 7y agoOk, that's fair. But intent doesn't express itself in internet comments, unfortunately, so if you don't disambiguate up front, you're likely to be interpreted through the most common filters, which alas are the nasty ones. I know it's extra work, but the burden is on each of us to do that. feross has submitted a ton of great articles to HN and is often the first user to find them. From that we all benefit, regardless of our views on ads, etc.
