We saw what npm did for @izs (over 100k in fees). It’s time to pay respects to the backbone of macOS. The missing package manager. Every single Linux/macOS dev uses it. Every setup script starts with it. For the legend @mxcl. 📷 $BREW

Web2 was built on Open Source. I created Homebrew, used by almost every web2 company… yet the most compensation I ever received was a (literal) “thank you for Homebrew” blanket from Google one cold winter.
PromiseKit, another project I created, was once used by over 100,000 apps including McDonalds—but I never even got so much as a Big Mac.
Open Source has a solvable sustainability problem. There’s a huge imbalance in those who gain from it versus those who build it. This imbalance could be both its problem and its solution.
The numbers work out: we don’t need much from every consumer of open source; we only need most of them to participate.
Which is why I’ve spent the last two years building @teaprotocol. At tea we strive to transform the perception of open source. Open Source is not charity; it’s fundamental and vital infrastructure that holds up the whole Internet and needs much needed intrinsic support.
With tea protocol both the creators and consumers are rewarded commensurate with the massive importance and value of open source.

Just to make it clear how easy it is on bags.fm:
• Go to bags.fm
• Click “Sign in with X”
• Open the fund tied to you
• Click Claim
That’s it. Fees are already accruing automatically. No setup, no obligations, just wanted you to know it’s there whenever you want it.

Appreciate everyone holding it down.
Let’s stay patient, stay respectful, and keep the momentum going.

This exchange is messy, but the underlying truth isn’t:
we rely on a tiny group of maintainers for critical infrastructure, then act surprised when burnout shows up.
Open source sustainability still isn’t solved.

While he was asleep, we kept building.
Now the timeline’s waking up. Wait till @mxcl sees what’s been raised and what’s possible if we move together.

Homebrew is installed on millions of machines and underpins most of Web2.
The creator got a thank you blanket.
This is exactly why open source sustainability needs to change.

I launched a memecoin on @BagsApp called npm run dev ($NPM) and sent 100% of the token royalties to @izs (Isaac Z. Schlueter).
The coin is now sitting around $3M, and it’s generated him $30,000 .
Thank you for building the foundation of modern web development.
