I love open source. My cynicism isn't about open-source, but about the OP's first post being "these docs suck, snaps fingers maybe one of you non-devs can work on it."

Good life lesson: You don't know until you ask.

That's more a salesperson mantra than SWE, where for every 10-100 people you ask, someone buys something. However, I've raised money many times simply by shamelessly asking.

Second good life lesson: Don't assume things about others.

People who make $1/day, $10/day, $100/day, $1000/day, $10,000/day, etc. have fundamentally different priorities and motivations. Ditto on many other axes. Good synergies are leveraged working across such differences.
