Looking at the origins and their people's stories, I've come to appreciate two Microsoft projects (Typescript and VSCode) because I can see how most of their "founders" are still knee-deep in it, ten years later. We can talk about salaries here, sure, but it's more than that: t.co/6geSITR1x3
I'm seeing tons of commitment. Over long periods of time. To a single cause. In a team where you have to sync with others. While making complex stuff. This isn't easy in my opinion and you can't buy that with money.
