   I managed to make it another year of working on open source full time 🎉

     @takoyaki Yes, it feels like you need to be extremely privileged and lucky to be able to make it as an independent full-time open source developer.
     Luckily, the number of proper jobs where you get to work on open source all day seems to be increasing. See e.g. https://www.fossjobs.net/

     @cketti congrats! working on open source full time seems to be this elusive dream that many people in open source would love to do, but difficult to break into, great that you can make it work for you
