Metadata
Highlights
- This is why I am very careful about how I make “useful” software and release it to the world without any solid way for me to get paid for my efforts. I simply do not want to be in a situation where my software that I develop as a passion project on the side is holding people’s companies together. That’s why I make software how and where I do. Like, no offense, but I really do not want to go unpaid for my efforts. The existing leech culture of “Open Source” being a pool of free labor makes it hard for me to want to have my side projects be actually useful like that unless you pay me.
