I love the idea of this but you read so many stories about the owners of open sourced projects not making a penny, whilst millions use their work and benefit financially.

It’s difficult to do this when there’s belly’s to fill.

100%. Very Elon Musk BUT even Elon himself had looked after his own and made his own millions before trying to tackle that.

The software engineering career is a ridiculously “fast paced”. career. 5 years experience in programming is the equivalent to 20+ years in another industry. There’s very few industries where you can make a 200k+ salary in your 20s.
