Joshua BarrettoIt occurred to me today that the social value of the open-source work I do in my free time has probably been an order of magnitude more useful to the world than everything I've ever done as a paid employee. Needing to seek a wage almost certainly makes me a less productive member of society than I would otherwise be.
The number of boosts this is getting implies that a lot of folk feel similar, and that's sad.
meejah@jsbarretto I am extremely glad I've had the opportunity to get paid to work on nearly-exclusively free/open software in the last bunch of years.
It also has definitely paid less than other more soul-crushing opportunities, which I'm totally fine with.
There's so many neat things from "the before times" I _wish_ I could have shared .... "but, proprietary" :(
