- samspenc 5y agoYeah I'm surprised this post doesn't have more upvotes. A rare positive story in the open source world, where the author is able to generate enough revenue to compensate for quitting their full-time job and work on their open source project full-time! Plus he has fully laid out the template for how he did it and other open-source maintainers can do it too. This isn't one of those "get rich quick" stories / ads you see on Youtube, it's actually a fully self-sustaining model for open source that the author has lived out.
