I think the tone of this comment is unnecessarily condemning (apologies if I am reading it incorrectly) – I can totally understand why someone who has worked for years on a non-profit business which has created a lot of value for people (I think exercism is pretty good software) might want to be able to at least pay themself.

Non-profit doesn't mean you didn't get to pay yourself. It just means that any revenue that exceeds expenses must be reinvested into the business.

That sounds like Amazon to me.

Except amazon shares would be worth much less if there was a promise of no dividends ever

Thanks, yeah. New product will hopefully mean I can keep funding and growing exercism. They're very synergistic and will support each other.
