Yesterday I requested a person to pay for support as they desperately asked me for immediate help with their #libcurl problem (for a huge international company doing an expensive commercial device), seemingly in a hurry.
To which the user said no thanks, closed the issue and vanished.
The open source life.
@bagder start asking money for ur hardwork... Atleast 10/20% of what others making in market... Open source doesn't mean '' free''.
Lots of people making excuses for the companies saying "it takes a long time" or "it is complicated" and "lawyers yada yada".
This is not my first rodeo. This is my full-time gig since many years back. I know for a fact that countless (I would even say most) companies can arrange payments pretty quick when it is in their interest.
Apart for the rare unicorn bureaucratic nightmares, the rest is just lame excuses. They're just leaches.
