I'm not saying it doesn't suck for this person, but product market fit is a thing for open source too. If people need it they'll use it and contribute until something better comes along. If not, your idea wasn't the one. That doesn't mean it's not possible. Nearly my whole life runs on open source software, so it's pretty clearly sustainable.

over the years, using "open source" has become an excuse to avoid paying for software

Um. Yes. And to be blunt: obviously. And in return, I give away software I create for free whether people need it or not, and try to give back in the form of contributions too. But I've never once given up my day job for it. Would that be nice? Maybe. But open source software is more frequently sustained by passionate people using and expanding it for their own projects and not by expecting people to pay you for your efforts when you're likely not paying (nodejs, github, ahem) for the software you're building it on anyway.

The workplace, or at least career progression, is like 50% politics lol. Google is no different.

I have a wife. No amount of money at the moment could convince us to move to Texas even to try making it better. The risk is already too high.

3DMark or some other benchmark utility might help next time.

I ordered them through Lowes and they had all sorts of options for connectivity and power, including just old school chains. Looks like they're Bali brand.

Haven't watched the video yet, but I'm a huge fan of our plug-in z-wave smart blinds. Makes getting all that extra light way easier and automatable.
