"I was sitting on well over 2,000$+ over the course of a month."

I expected something more interesting given the title. I do see what you did there, sir, and it was mildly amusing, but not nearly as epic as the title suggests. Not really trolling reddit so much as exacerbating an existing condition; or so it seems to this one.

Welcome to my club. Like others are saying, use the time to develop.

After a lengthy period of me asking about what my duties were and if anything was written down and what various policies were, a senior coworker simply said "Read. Buy some books and read." I spend about one hour of the day on getting real work done, another hour or two on moving things through the idiocracy, and the rest of the day is spent on Pylons documentation. :D

Is... is it wrong to get turned on by this?

My uncertainty about what I'd actually do with one is equaled only by my irrational conviction that I nevertheless need one.

It all just sounds like:

"I'm not the bad guy; see? See? This donation proves it."

"I'm just like the Diaspora devs. I'm a hip young hacker too! I'm just like them! I'm a good guy too."

"Daww, aren't they the cutest things? Making either what I already found wouldn't work, or what did work but what I've already done better."

It is cool that he's donated to the project. That said, his responses in the interview just come across as posturing, self-promoting, and some light FUD apropos Diaspora. Not terribly convinced here.
