Interesting historical note, this is how Chef was born. Adam Jacobs of Chef was running a Puppet consulting company (hjksolutions). He ran into a bug (#1010) that he couldn’t solve and used up a ton of Luke’s time. Luke worked hard on it but couldn’t reproduce it and after devoting a week or two on it told Adam that he was the only one with this problem and would need to pay him as a consultant for any further effort. Adam was (is) an incredibly pushy jerk and demanded that Luke, who wasn’t making a penny off of Puppet, put his life on hold to fix this for Adam’s customers. Luke basically said “fuck you, pay me” so Adam started Chef (a billion dollar company). User’s sense of entitlement is powerful. |

People are getting used to the freemium model popular in software, apps, games, and the "free" model of gmail/youtube/facebook (where you pay with your privacy).
