    Many organizations writing open source stuff are hiring people to work full-time. You might not earn as much as other places, but just because they are non-profits doesn’t mean they don’t have money or an income.

      Yup, that’s true, and I am always open to and looking for new opportunities, but that also requires them to be interested in hiring me - not a trivial feat, especially in the current job market.

      But you know what, I’ll go shop around a little in my free time the next week or two. I’d love for (more of) my work to be publicly accessible and not locked up in a proprietary codebase.
