I provide a small amount of funding to folks via Patreon whose work I benefit from. This puts me among a proud group of folks that Eric S. Raymond calls Loadsharers.
Here are the individuals I support thus far:
- Jason A. Donenfeld (WireGuard)
- Eric S. Raymond (So much open source)
- George Nachman (iTerm2)
I also support one special individual from whose work I don't yet directly benefit. However, his constant advocacy will eventually help millions, as soon as we have established a Universal Basic Income as a safety net for those that society has left behind with its flawed patchwork of entitlements.
