don't do this, this is ridiculous. both openclaw and pi are passion projects by two friends who are already well off.

If we're in a thread discussing someone getting a job off of the project, it seems fair to discuss how other members are being compensated too.

i'm not a member of openclaw. i build some oss in parallel, and added 3 or so commits to the openclaw repo. and peter is taking some of the openclaw contributors with him.

Okay and do you think you're entitled to any payout in proportion of your efforts? I would argue yes you are.

What nonsense is this. You seem to be implying that contributing to an open source project creates some kind of entitlement to whatever another contributor attains. That’s not how it works.

I think it would be a very interesting discussion in how open source projects get compensated. Acting like it's shameful to discuss things, in a thread literally about someone making a massive payday by getting hired from an OS project, is odd.

It's not like it would be an impossible ask to include a stipulation to also compensate other developers, but what do I know? In fact I'm curious why this doesn't happen more, but it feels like crab bucket mentality which is the mindset VC culture has exported across the world.
