Pydantic Logfire

The ideal business model (from a user's point of view) for successful libraries like Pydantic, Ruff, etc., is like a foundation or sponsoring. But (almost) nobody pays for them (me included), so their creators have raised VC money, citing: 'We have xxM users and yyyyyM downloads per month.' Not to blame library authors here, they are trying their thing, which is indeed admirable. It's just that open source is difficult to sustain. Wishing them all the best

Downloads is a terrible metric. Easy to fake to increase them, while projects with many skilled users result with 0 since they will use distributions or caches instead of wasting time re-downloading the same thing over and over.
