Totally agree - I'm a crappy writer and I really hoped that sentiment didn't come across, but hey. Totally not what I meant :)
I've been burnt too by people not paying, people underpaying, and people not wanting to pay — but the big realisation I had before writing this was that these projects are not the same as someone wanting a full redesign of their new 'Airbnb for X' for £50; they're community things.
Thanks for the reply. You're not a crappy writer, don't bring yourself down, you're on the frontpage of HN :-) Even if it's a commercial project I don't mind, as long as I can agree with their "thing" and I always like to get some credit (could even be a quote about working with me on my Linkedin profile). I am currently in two non-paying projects ;-)
