People need to realize that leisure time - time off work, commute, chores - is paid for by their employer (as far as they're concerned). Which is to say that those of us with only a couple of hours to ourselves a day are being stiffed, no matter how much money we make. Stop letting the workaholics dictate how the rest of us live.

Tragically my landlord refused my proposal to pay him in github stars :(

he's the lord of your time.

(do relate. progress on personal projects can be slow due to this kind of stuff sadly!)

Landlords are literally just lords. I don't know at what point they were rebranded.

People tell me all the time that I should just open source my project that I have spent thousands of hours developing. As if doing so would make money magically appear in my bank account.
