Back in the day of low hanging fruits, stories like this were very common on HN. I think it’s harder for software developers to attain this kind of success today, and as a result they have developed an allergy to capitalism.

I know these freeloaders (amazons, microsofts, and apples) expect our hard earned money and code for free but i think it would be fair to make them start paying. Then you’d get more indie software developer success stories.
