The options aren't meant to be realistic. They're only meant to tease out which side you personally have a preference for, by making you think about how these two extreme options make you feel. One probably feels worse than the ot

I would not hire you. I would worry that you would take my money, and not ship anything that makes my company money. I could just as well burn my money for all the good it would do my company. You do know that the point of a company is to m

You cannot know whether a customer exists for your product until you make it and publish it. Proton has been doing this for a while, and they still exist. This means they have validated that some users exist for their product.

Finally get out from under Google's thumb. As soon as Ladybird is half as good as Firefox, then this is reason enough for me to switch. I've lost faith in Mozilla's leadership, and I believe the root cause is the Google money

I sorry to say this, but the new visual style is completely charmless. The most important thing a non-profit oss project needs is a charming visual style. A ladybird for instance is an extremely charming little bug, and it was such a strong
