Today I just got hired to work on an open source company.
I could not be happier, I may not be rich but I can work at something I love in public, with great team mates, and in an async-remote first company with little to no office politics or mandatory all hands meetings.
It would be 100x times harder for me to get paid via small sponsorships like this.
There's hundreds of YC companies building open source, look for them, apply to the ones you like. Enjoy.

- tough 5y agoYup those two are the best ROI for me too. Had to politeley turn down 3 other offers/contacts from last month at workatastartup (didnt pursue them tbh, I hate interviews) And HN who's hiring has gotten me several contracts/gigs in the past so can vouch for its usefulness too
- tommoor 5y agoIf you're looking at this want to get paid to work in public – I'd love to hire some TypeScript contractors to work on https://github.com/outline/outline https://github.com/outline/outline – hmu!
- tough 5y agoHey! I actually looked into contributing into outline (awesome notion FOSS alternative btw) when I had this crazy idea for a DAO/Web3 about research publishing platform (outline + latex support would have been great for that, there was an open branch and looked into it). Kudos on the great product and project, I am sure it's a great company to work at!
