This is really amazing that when talk about making money people
tends to think in the position as a owner of a big company instead
of merely a developer for a company.
va/rh developers ARE earn their good life writing free software.
which is a moral way of life with code, if you ask me.
i don't know the math with ceo stuff, so i don't know if va/rh are
spreading too fast to gain a profit even as they're earning
more and more..
