It’s amusing to me that we as a community both complain that OSS maintainers aren’t paid and then expect someone who’s making the source available to pick OSS. Let people try alternate funding models and honestly as a hacker community we should be a bit more supportive of the work required to bootstrap something.

Yeah I would like to see more ideas like this.

I really hope there's a model out there for OSS at least where folks can get paid.

I always wondered what if engineers had a $100/month budget to donate to OSS founders. It wouldn't cost an employer much and would be a good way to give back.
