On: I Just Hit $100k/year On GitHub Sponsors

I worked as a contractor in 1099 for years. It was exactly the same as W2, except I had to pay estimated taxes 4 times a year. I didn't get to choose hours, direction, who to work with.

I think you're confusing it with personal projects.

There is nuance in that statement. The IRS has a test for whether a person is an employee or a contractor.
