Thanks for sharing that article. Most open-source projects start not with a plan to monetise but because an engineer wanted to solve a problem by themselves.
Also, when i read zloirock’s post about what it takes to maintain ‘core-js’, i couldn’t understand why he would not just walk away or at least take on a lesser role. It isn’t good for any project if it depends on one person. Especially for something that is such a core part of the js ecosystem (pun intended). I’m sure he’d get lots of volunteers if not the money directly.
This story got me sad. But also, the guy should know better as not to dedicate all of his time on that. This article talk a bit about this issue.
