C'mon that's barely enough to buy a burger at McDonald's. Click baiting with the "Rich" claim.

From which Galaxy do you belong? What's the price of a burger there?

The price of a Lamborghini(in my uni) should be equal to the price of a burger(in your uni) 🤣

Never mind, I understood your context. But there are more bounties coming, and that may you rich. Remember, solving a bounty issue will not only award you the bounty price but also a good reputation. You may land a good job from this and thus, would be able to buy a Lamborghini.

I don't why I didn't explain this thing in the blog. 😅

Edit: @paraspl01t I have a yellow one (of course a toy one; in India I used to buy the mini-models of branded cars at 5 INR. Missing those days 🙃). By the way, read this entire message!

In Brazil, 1850 USD is a relatively huge amount of money: some R$10.000,00. For context, this is over seven times the monthly minimum wage, around 3.5 times the average worker's monthly wage, or the equivalent of the entire annual earnings of roughly 35% of Brazilian families.

Never lose sight of how blessed you are to work in one of the highest-paying fields.

He's working in India. The US dollar is worth a lot more than the Rupee. $1 = ₹84.37 . So,
$250 = ₹21093.53 = "rich"

Everyone has different angles of thinking. 😉

$250 = ₹21093.53 = "rich"
This amount doesn't make us rich. But the reputation we got, surely does!

Wow, I gotta start shopping for a new home, perhaps even a mansion.

Jokes aside, I think there are many sharks out there taking advantage of open source. It's nothing new though, "businesses people" have learned a long time ago to take everything for granted, free products, free work, free minds. The good businesses are those who also contribute, not just take.

Taking ❌
Giving ✅

That's OS tradition I guess. Only a few orgs come back to product and contribute/donate. 🙃

This is a great system. As a business that uses permissive open source in our commercial products. Often there are things we want to add/update but the upramp costs of finding someone, them getting familiar with the code base etc. eat up the budget.

We actually WANT to contribute in a cost effective way.

Will be looking into how to get bounties added to some projects!
