$1000 a month to make someone whose being $10,000 a month even 1.5x more productive is well worth the price.

Today we have open source projects that can compete with proprietary ones just because people without initial funding had the ability to make it competitive

You can bootstrap something with yourself and a friend with some hard work and intelligence

This is available to people all over the world, even those in countries where $1000 is a months salary

Microsoft and their employees will be fine, yeah. That's not who I'm thinking about
