		Karupan on Nov 9, 2020 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: No More Free Work from Marak: Pay Me or Fork This Right move IMO. The consulting firm a friend works for uses faker.js for almost all their projects. The consultants get paid $1500 a day and they haven’t even thought of donating as it “free and open source”. I also hope the license is more restricted for commercial use.

To be fair, you get paid $1500 a day regardless. If you write the thing yourself, you'll get paid $1500 a day for a bit longer.

but if somebody else if equivalent skill could save the client money by using faker, then they will get all the business and out-compete you!
