Most people don’t realize it, but many of the devices and apps you use every day are built on top of open source software, maintained by one or two developers that aren’t paid for their time, who patch bugs and improve their code to give back to the community or as a passion project.

    Oh, sure. Open source devs who work full-time for free are millionaires to begin with. They surly have more power than average people.

    I constantly day dream that one day I’ll be one of them.
