While I'm certainly not in a position to turn down the money, I'm hesitant to think about what kind of dependence this could create for folks like me.

Am I going to end up the code-monkey equivalent of an Uber-driver - paid just enough to keep coming back, but not enough to pay my bills?

Is this going to disrupt real, bill-paying programming jobs? If so, is anyone going to realistically pay their bills, with the huge pool of hobbyists going out there chasing after this?

Is my hobby going to stop being fun, since someone threw money at it?
