Hi, I'm Courtland, a founder, full-stack web developer, web designer, and podcaster. I graduated from MIT in 2009 and Y Combinator in Winter 2011.

I run https://www.IndieHackers.com, where developers share how they're making money from their apps and side projects.

Huge numbers (billions) of people have enough money to make massive changes to the lives of those less fortunate than them, but don't, and prefer instead to make incremental upgrades to their own lives. New rugs, more savings, first-class airline tickets, eating out a few more times a month, etc.

This is just human nature.

People who are at wealth level x tend to say, "I can't believe that people at wealth level x+1 aren't more generous!" all the while ignoring their own lack of desire to give generously to people at wealth levels x-1 and below.
