08/12/2020, 7:47 AMsure, no doubt there are plenty of success stories but i wonder how many of them "accidently" merged into full time projects - b

08/12/2020, 7:48 AMi think, when it comes to OSS, the best model is domain expertise - ie, you hire the guy who knows alot about the system to work with your project - b
bright-gpu-74537
08/12/2020, 7:49 AMit even works that way with alot of massive open source projects... ie, corporate support - b
brainy-machine-50829
08/12/2020, 7:49 AMYeah, that's the most common model from what I've seen. - b

08/12/2020, 7:49 AMHonestly I would much rather use the OSS I would be making to make some product to sell. 😄 - b

bright-gpu-74537
08/12/2020, 7:50 AMthats the best part about OSS i think... you have a huge library of "things" that kinda do nothing and you put them together to do something that does - l

08/12/2020, 8:26 AM@User no problem - just shifting funds from patreon to github (assuming it's a better deal) - b
bright-gpu-74537
08/12/2020, 8:26 AMyeah, i think it works out better since GH match your donation, so its basically double the amount for the dev - b

08/12/2020, 6:03 PMyeah, i think its pretty cool of them to match donations tbh... i mean, its obviously all strategy but its one that benefits end users / devs, so thats cool - l
limited-advantage-32748
08/12/2020, 11:21 PMNoticed that github doesn't allow users to specify an amount to donate. it has to be the amount the developer sets - l

08/12/2020, 11:48 PMyeah, that's nice about patreon, you can sponsor at a lower tier and then set a custom amount, so you can give a little bit more if you feel like it - b
