428 sats \ 2 replies \ @WeAreAllSatoshi 17 Nov 2023 \ on: The Lack of Compensation in Open Source Software is Unsustainable bitcoin
Disclosure: I didn't read the linked article.
I find SN's open source contribution compensation model to work well. I think in the README for SN's repo, it suggests doing up-front negotiation for the amount of sats you'd like for a given piece of work. I haven't ever done that, I just defer to k00b based on what work I do. I'm not sure if others have done it, either.
Just to be clear, I didn't start, nor did I continue, contributing to SN for the sats. I contribute because I enjoy it, I get to learn hands on with new technology which grows my skillset as an engineer, and I have had the time to do so. But the sats are a nice extra benefit!

I feel you. I know when I started contributing, the first sats were a huge surprise. I started to mention that I don't want to get paid. I just want to show support. To show @k00b I believe in SN and he's not alone.
He sent me sats anyway, haha
But I guess it's the same for @k00b. He also wants to show appreciation for good work :)

Where the hell did I read this ... oh yeah, here.
Giving someone money is maybe the least thoughtful way to show someone you value them but there's no mistaking that you value them when you do.
