Wow, paying himself $150k after tax from donations! That's wildly more successful than I would have guessed. (Not saying it's undeserved.)

> we need more recurring donations

Damn... really? More than $170k/year from Github Sponsors? That's got to be the most successful Github Sponsor income ever right?

There's an article somewhere on the rationale of Andrew's salary. From the top of my head it was based on an median lead developer salary in the area.

Honestly that seems fair, obviously less than he would have in the private sector, but still high enough to not burn out and have a comfortable life.
