I wonder from all the people commenting here how much they relied on Source Graph, and how many actually paid for it. Running an open-source company is hard, just like running any company is. Sometimes you understand there are things you just can't give out for free, and that's part of maturing as a company.

100% this.

Devs have to learn the hard way to behave like the other professionals, want nice things to stay around?

Pay for the tools.

This tool is $49/user/mo. That’s more than the price I pay for a single 12-core + 64GB RAM server!

Edit: Ah, and it’s 50 users minimum, so the starting price is $2450/mo.

Yes, now do the math, if you owned a company, how much monthly revenue you must get per month to pay everyone at a similar salary level, plus government related taxes, office space, electricity, water.

I pay for the product, not the company.
