      Noticing the React ecosystem took in around nearly 8MM in seed funding in the past week between two companies (Prisma and Gatsby). Venture capital growing bullish on the future of open source web tech.

      yay? I'm legitimately happy for these people/companies yet concerned about the distorting effects big VC checks can have on open source communities

      I'm in "camp indifferent about business models. VC way too much media hyperbole. A business model is not an evil thing or a good thing. Diff ones have diff tradeoffs. Good actors and bad. Just like bootstrapping. /shrug

      Also think some folks confused my 'noticing' with 'omg this is a celebratory moment'. It is validation for the ecosystem which is nice but not really a thing to laud or celebrate per se. An indicator. One signal among many.

      fair. It's not exclusive to VC anyways. BigCos do it too. I think my biggest annoyance comes when value created by the community gets extracted. In a true community ownership takes many forms. In a company it takes one: shares of stock

      There are ways to fix that. But people won't or the systems make it hard. Gatsby could give stock to every contributor. FB could give stock to every commiter to Jest. Of course that would distort things in an entirely different way :)

      that'd be pretty cool; if it wasn't a snake oil pit of deception I'd say that would be a perfect application of these cryptocurrency contracts/tokens/etc

      😂 If I ever have an open source project become huge I will want to try something like it, even if it is hard. The world can hold me to it by referencing this tweet.

          Really tough to get right. How do you know if someone's commit is of the same value as someone else's? You may find that an innocuous commit causes harm later on. Who is liable? Payment for community contribution needs to be careful and considered

          I said it would be hard :) We don't have to get it right the first time. The current system is dedinitely setup to benefit private capital. I'd like to see alternatives.

          alt reality Gatsby annoucement: Hey we made a company! Every existing contributor can buy 1000 shares in the new company. Its not payment. It may not happen ever again. It is a gift. You'll have to pay taxes. Email us directly to claim them. We might say no if we can't verify you

          That's far from ideal but at least it would be a step toward acknowledging that a major change is happening and give community a way to participtate. If what I suggested is legally impossible that is a problem with the laws and maybe we should change them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

          It would be a really hard thing to do right. Someone is going to feel slighted. But it is better than leaving the community out in the cold.
