Open Source related - 'Funding' Experiment Recap

Very interesting and thought-provoking article about Funding for OSS
https://feross.org/funding-experiment-recap/
However the comments section also includes this very valid comment from Mjölnir :
There were numerous valid concerns like the ones I'm raising now. You've only cherry-picked the most positive ones and used them to support your arguments. Yes there was an inundation of responses and I'm sure it's not easy to be at the receiving end of so much derision but there were TONS of valid concerns and dismissing the VAST majority of people in the ecosystems with such a flagrant disregard for conflicting opinions does not bode well

Seated-Meditation vs Seated-Programming

"It's thought that KungFu was developed by the early Chinese monks as a way to stay fit enough for hours of seated meditation."




Seated Programming/Studying is not very different from Seated-Meditation.
Hence, the need for being extremely fit for hours of seated-meditation applies to seated-studying/programming as well.
