Okay, I will bite.

What you need my friend is a strategy. Are there features that if delivered create outsized economic returns?

You need to invert your thinking. Nobody gives a shit about you, your product, your company, your mission, open source. Money is directly derived by delivering value to another party in a way that they could not or would not be able to create themselves.

Open Source software utilizes a confluence of patent law and hippy bullshit to create a safe space for collaboration and advancement and yada yada yada.

I didn’t invent fire, but I can start a hell of a bbq.

Do shit that matters and everything will be fine.

The best thing that you can ever do is make a ton of money, hire a ton of people, pay your taxes, and be there when your are called upon.
