always has been
18:40:23
@zimbatm:numtide.comJonas Chevalierwe're all volunteers18:44:36
@zimbatm:numtide.comJonas Chevalierhow much do you think it would cost to pay everybody involved, including nixpkgs contributions?18:45:05
@zimbatm:numtide.comJonas Chevalier100M per year or so?18:45:33
@edef1c:matrix.orgedefeh, not everyone is fulltime18:45:56
@edef1c:matrix.orgedefwe have a pretty long tail of small-time contributors18:46:09
@edef1c:matrix.orgedefi think we probably take in seven figures worth of labour tops18:47:17
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusand if we consider only the infra team or stuff where we need to incentivize people or everything just disappear, this is even less18:47:56
@edef1c:matrix.orgedefinfra and security are the "nobody notices or cares you exist, until you fuck up or disappear" departments18:48:28
