Alberta Tech did an interview with Malus CEO. Not sure if satire, but the guy act like it isn't.

How did you listen to the dialogue and not conclude it's satire?

"We get a lot of love letters and fan mail. They love us so much they're asking where we sleep at night so they can pay us a visit."

Gotta admire his ability to keep a straight face.

That said, it might be considered performance art more than satire (or maybe not mutually exclusive), since they apparently do actually accept payment for actual jobs. And if you trust anybody with a website like theirs, good luck with whatever code you receive from them.

In a way, I like to think about these [open source] maintainers kind of like 18th century weavers in North of England. Uh these weavers were kind of known as Luddites. They were specialty weavers. They built uh they wove amazing clothes. They were the best in the world at what they did. And then, British colonialism happened. They were replaced with machines. And these well-compensated weavers uh that lived on nice for farms in Yorkshire, they were forced to move to London and live in cramped housing and eat stale bread.

So, the future of open source maintainers is moving to London and eating stale bread.

Potentially.
