Does awesomekling get to remain BDFL of Ladybird? I appreciated the project because it gave the impression that all the pork was stripped away and 100% focused on the engineering.
Meanwhile Mozilla spends a massive chunk of money on the organization and the philanthropy and the blog posts, and the activism, and the salaries of people who have little resemblance to engineers.
I’m still the BDFL but my role is evolving a bit as I’m now also running the nonprofit.
We are definitely a stripped down operation, and we will spend as much of our funding as possible on engineer salaries for the foreseeable future.
