- icebraining 7y agoMost Rust contributors are not Mozilla employees. Even in the core team, 3 of 9 members weren't (as of 2017, may be different today),
- steveklabnik 7y agoIt is 3 of 9 today as well. (In 2017 it was higher!)

- dsypa 7y agoIf you were paying me to comment and you wanted me to stop commenting, yes definitely. I could go my own way and comment for free (as I already do) and then I would be able to do whatever I wanted. But as long as I am funded by you, yes I should do what you ask of me.
- StavrosK 7y agoWouldn't you have a choice between continuing to get paid or continuing to comment? And what if I already knew your decision would be to stop getting paid and quit HN but I still needed you to continue being on HN because your presence here was valuable to me? Would that not mean that I'm paying you, but I can't force you to do anything without harming myself much more than you?
