The gist of the article is not "I didn't know you were going to get rich off of my work (and I'm pissed off by that)". The premise is - in my reading -
"Don't point the finger at me for writing bad software in my own free time, when you didn't even consider contributing to it and don't try to shift the blame when you have to face the consequences of your own cheap behavior".
At least that's my interpretation.
I see the author annoyed that companies don't want to to be their patron to just pay them to work on random things that they have fun working on
and attempting to leverage this issue to try to draw attention to this "injustice"
as someone with a full time software job: I wish I could only work on things that interest me...
rather than spending 80% of my time working on boring things and dealing with customers who set deadlines and expect to receive a specific product that they're paying for
