- peter_l_downs 3y agoThat's an interesting idea, thank you, I'll read through the post. EDIT: I found the post interesting but unfortunately these projects are in no way load-bearing. I'm happy to hear Filippo has made it work for himself but as he points out, the projects he works on are simply much better suited to sponsorship and retainer/consulting agreements. I wonder what he would recommend for newer or less-load-bearing projects.
