Well, I finally have data to back my model of the software world out there. And the data is relatively solid and shows what I keep saying.
You are all on our turf now. Please accept that you have no idea what you are talking about. Sit down. Listen. Ask questions.
But respect our work. We are trying to keep the world running, 1h per month.

@tidelift Oh and btw, if you want to post it to your link aggregators, feel free. I am too tired to do it tonight. And I got a headache. I overdraft my own maintainer's schedule by a few hours to get this over the line.

Thanks to @tidelift and Synopys for doing the research and publishing it btw, they have been some of the few people actually trying to listen and figure out the space, instead of just dropping "aid" from above.

@lispi314 Because I have seen them consistently miss the point so long that they lost their seat at the table. They will get it again when they show they understand what I said above :D
Yes, liberating the last 23% is a fight I can support, and I can understand the importance of it.
But also, we are not revolutionaries anymore. We are the ones in control now.
The balance between maintenance and activism probably needs to shift a bit.
The dog caught the car. And what do we do now?
