It's a cool site for sure, but it's also hype-driven and buzzword heavy.

Remix is also run by/evangelized by people who: 1. hype their own work on Twitter with misleading comments, 2. released their framework as "pay-only" intially, 3. sell expensive coursework for their own tools instead of, yknow, having adequate documentation.

Remix also spun off into its own company before being acquired by Shopify. In fact, the whole "open-source library spins off into a company" is kind of creepy to me, although I'm sure not all are bad actors.



Well it's either that or you don't have a library and have wait for someone employed by a company to release something.

Someone has to get paid at some point. If this is their business why shoot it down? It's either that or subsidize this work by working somewhere that pays and leaves you with enough time for other projects.

Always wondering why devs are so cheap when they are supposed to earn that much more... Or perhaps it is just the vocal few on the internet.


Creating high quality video tutorials as a way to make $$ to support OSS actually sounds like a good idea to me.
