   This is excellent. 👌🏼

   “Open source, the thing that drives the world, the thing Harvard says has an economic value of $8.8 trillion.
   Most of it is one person.

   And […] not one of those single person projects have the proper amount of resources they need. If you want to talk about possible risks to your supply chain, a single maintainer that’s grossly underpaid and overworked.”

   Yuuup. Baffling how so many companies depend on open source software without funding it, ever.

     @leaverou Feels a bit misleading. The headline suggests that the same single person makes most of open source.
