I am unaware of this person. My impression of the DHF is that it is useless for small projects or for recouping costs of donated work. And, unless someone is financially able to donate their time, simply charging for costs makes no sense. I was frankly shocked when I read a post that put developers in a bad light as taking advantage of the financed visionaries. Is this the dominant culture here?

Developers find themselves having coded themselves out of work. When I first took off coding, it was in response to being given administrative tasks. I multiplied the effort of the users, and I viewed my job as to make my job obsolete: you code solutions to repetitive work; you don't code lock-in and dependency.

Development became commoditized and automated in its own right, and now we find ourselves in a conundrum where our past accomplishments do not earn royalties and the need for our skillset as a commodity is diminished.
