    Star spangled banner, autocorrect edition:

    Oh Daddy can you see by the Dawn’s easily long What do probably we jailed add the Twilight last glowing Whoa being strips and bright state They’d the person force Or the ramparts we watched We’re so thankful streaming

    And the tickets red flare The bonds busting in sure Have proof their the night That it flat was still there

    Oh saw guys that day spangled banner yet and Or the leave of the few And the home of the brave

    I’m not saying it doesn’t suck for this person, but product market fit is a thing for open source too. If people need it they’ll use it and contribute until something better comes along. If not, your idea wasn’t the one. That doesn’t mean it’s not possible. Nearly my whole life runs on open source software, so it’s pretty clearly sustainable.

    over the years, using “open source” has become an excuse to avoid paying for software

    Um. Yes. And to be blunt: obviously. And in return, I give away software I create for free whether people need it or not, and try to give back in the form of contributions too. But I’ve never once given up my day job for it. Would that be nice? Maybe. But open source software is more frequently sustained by passionate people using and expanding it for their own projects and not by expecting people to pay you for your efforts when you’re likely not paying (nodejs, github, ahem) for the software you’re building it on anyway.

    And he’s accomplished so hilariously little compared to the other billionaires out there. Not that they deserve billions either, but look at Google and the ridiculous progress they’ve made, and innovations they’ve created, and code they’ve open sourced. Steve wants to be among such “peers” in terms of wealth while having done relatively nothing.
