I’ve had some success funding my open source work through Patreon, I post regular updates on what I’m working on and take some feature requests from members, along with the occasional nsfw pics.
1. What do you consider success? Is this less than, equal to, or greater than the amount you pay on rent/mortgage?
2. Are you building user-facing applications for a non-technical user base, or infrastructure code for a technical user base?
3. How much of your success, do you think, is based on the novelty you offer through occasional nsfw pics?
