Care to elaborate on how $1.5M makes Python better?

The donation is earmarked for security concerns, ie. improving PyPI from a security perspective to prevent/mitigate supply chain attacks, etc. This means a more healthy Python ecosystem, which also benefits their products which are utilizing said ecosystem likely more than any other.

You’re asking how money can be used to improve software?

  • Yes, because lots of these comments seem to imply that more money necessarily makes it better, which is often not the case.
