>"The model and pitch also came into clearer focus. Truly, it’s simple: if you’re betting your business on a critical open source technology, you 1. want it to be sustainably and predictably maintained; and 2. need occasional access to expertise that would be blisteringly expensive to acquire and retain.[5] Getting maintainers on retainer solves both problems for a fraction of the cost of a fully-loaded full-time engineer. From the maintainers’ point of view, it’s steady income to keep doing what they do best, and to join one more Slack Connect channel to answer high-leverage questions. It’s a great deal for both sides." I love it! I love your business model! More power to you, your company, and other future Open Source maintenance companies!
