I myself struggle with the concept of asking $25k to build what he wants to build. But at the end of the day what I think doesn't matter what I think or how many people disagree. If enough people agree with him and support him, then the project will happen. If you don't like the idea, just don't give your money.
If you are worried this attitude becomes a trend then be active and release your stuff differently.
- dailyllama 15y agoAll the biggest open-source contributors I know made many of their contributions while collecting a paycheck. That doesn't make the work less valuable. I kicked in a few bucks to the project because just earlier today I wanted to run a small sintra project and had to be walked through a complicated toolchain installation that wasted time and caused frustration. Here's to hoping he can make it legitimately simple again!
