Paying for Open Source Contributions
As a professional full-time open source maintainer and developer, initiatives like this bother me a lot.The work we do is worth much more than $20/hr.Ideally I'd like to see open source developers in stable, tenured positions that pay fair salaries with benefits.  Anything that normalizes the idea that open source should be funded on tips, patreons, or spare time goodwill is embarrassing to all of us.  We can do better.If you value open source, hire people to do it and pay them fairly.
