I see a lot comments here suggesting the he should just pack his bags and get a corporate gig. How many other great open source projects will we miss out on because developers see this advice and not even bother in the first place.
- cheeze 4y agoI always see stuff like this, especially on HN, and get impostor syndrome from it. I do it because it's a job, and I need money. I program to _solve problems_, not because I love programming. Some people just really love programming. I hope they get what they are worth though.
- nevernude 4y agoSure, but you (maybe not you specifically) _solve problems_ by using a lot of open source. Your ability to do your job and get paid depends on the labor of others. Why not compensate them for it.
