Can I get an H1b for just 10hr/week like a part time job and be valid status in the US?

They are making lot of enterpise bucks though. And they did start as Open Source. Killing it midway to serve their convenience is the issue.

There's also tonne of Open Source that isn't as popular but serving niche communities. It's definitely harder but not impossible. OS core and paid hosting with bells and whistles has proven to be a good sustainable model.

Redis, Elasticsearch, Terraform, MongoDB, CockroachDB have all changed their OSS licenses in recent years.

True. I meant more of getting into the whole ecosystem of contributors, community, outreach etc

Technology for all the above existed in rudimentary form, faster Internet, faster machines and adoption was missing. But Current bets are assuming AGI. No one knows how soon. To predict that would be foolish.


This is the 'problem' I need solved as well. Sync across multiple Financial institutions is a nightmare. If the CSV import can be automated with some Plaid/simplefin bridge that's reliable, I think it would be a nobrainer for a large group of us to selfhost instead.


honest question: if you're using something like Plaid that means essentially "here's my admin credentials" are you really self hosting?


It's still limited to just one party, that's heavily regulated for compliance. Not perfect, but a step better than exposing to apps that can have bigger surface area of exposure.



Reminds me of seatbelts on airplane, put them first before trying to help others.


How do you help others if you physically restrain yourself from doing so though? I can imagine some help but it severely limits the help you can provide and needed, depending on the situation.


Future of software as Agent and Code don't go well together in my experience. Future is bleak if this is the future.

Nothing against producing code that's AI but code reviewable easily by humans, This is ideal in fact. But having a ton of AI slop that's unreadable by humans is not maintainable. There's of course applications like internal tools, or short lived software where this is useful no doubt.
