  "textContent": "no they don’t get paid.\n\nmaintaining a package isn’t a lot of work, you bump bounds maybe once a year.\nwhich you now mostly can automate, although you’d still have to be carefull with it.\n\nDeveloping features is a lot of work.\nSometimes you’ve to review code, which is also a fair bit of work.\n\nOn the other hand, I think it’s fun too. It’s a lot more rewarding to breath life into a project and keep it building for everyone then to just hack another nix derivation with monkey patches together just so that your own project builds.",
