The premise of paid open source devs is fine and well, but every single one of these blogs devolves into delusional utopian nonsense from people who do not understand the staggering infrastructure and maintenance cost of the modern society they think should be some sort of guaranteed right.

I’m writing from a place of frustration and not particularly interested in trying to moderate my tone. If you don’t want to hear me yell about open source for a while, please skip this one.

- woodruffw 3y agoI don't really have anything to say here, other than to reiterate: it is simply not charitable to assume the author is "stupid," "deluded," or similar. It adds zero information to the conversation, and actively detracts from your underlying point.
