I'm all for supporting OSS, but the author having a tip button with "recommended" tips of 20 $ and 1,000 $ for people and business respectively is so laughable it took away from an otherwise good blog posts. Commercialisation of OSS 2.0 should be discouraged to this extend

I bet it’s just for kicks, you’re reading way too much into this. This is just someone’s personal website and they’re experimenting with a donate button.

I agree with GP that this particular implementation is somewhat off-putting. I think it's because of recommended amounts which makes this feel less of a donation and more like a business transaction. It doesn't help that the amounts are ridiculously high for a single article.

I assumed the donation was suggested if you wanted to use the code that they were releasing. The donation form was within the Code section.
