How is Open Source project work paid?
  • Core developer of an open source software suite here. We make money by doing the following things:

    • We offer a free and open source community package that has the basics. However, we offer a number of professional packages that we offer yearly subscriptions for.
    • We host our software. We charge by the number of active users.
    • Custom development.
    • Paid support like migrations or troubleshooting. Also helping external developers develop custom modules.

    This allows us enough income to develop the community part of the software.

  • What keyboard layout do you use?
  • Dvorak. I switched back in 2005 from qwerty and never looked back. I never looked forward either, so I may try out Colemak at some point in time. Workman looks solid for English, but I am not a native English speaker.

  • Counter question: why do you think that you cannot get enough sleep? Do you feel sleep deprived? As somebody else mentioned earlier, you may not need as much sleep.

    A few general tips that may or may not apply to you:

    • No more screen time at least an hour before going to bed. Read a book instead. Blue light will mess with your brain.
    • Do not drink caffeinated drinks or alcohol. I usually stop drinking caffienated drinks around 3PM. I do enjoy a beer though, but I do not have any trouble sleeping.
    • When do you eat your largest meal of the day? You may simply be too busy digesting your main meal.
    • Do you suffer from anxiety, depression or any other mental issues that may prevent you from sleeping? Maybe it would help to have that looked into.

    I normally sleep from 10:30-ish to 6:30-ish. As for running, I mostly do that either late morning or late afternoon, as my energy levels are highest then. However, I have school going kids and a 9 to 5 job. I do not know your situation, so YMMV.

  • have you ever remained in a job you don't quite like for your coworkers?
  • If you were ever here, how did you solve this?

    Simple. Just stay friends. I left a job 15 years ago because the CEO was an asshole. However, our team was great and I still visit some of my old colleagues regularly.
