Вчера впервые получил пожертвование в размере 50 USD, как следует из приложенного комментария, именно за участие в разработке #Hubzilla.
Ну да, это моя почасовая ставка как IT специалиста, но всё равно, очень приятно.
Спасибо!

Well, for me it took nearly two hours to earn that 50 USD. I know its not much, but next time I remember that if I cannot give enough I better give nothing.

I donate $3 each month for Michael T Macgirvin, I just donated 50 USD to you, as sometimes when I manage to stop myself from spending on something I do not need - I donate a small part of it. No need to thank me but its not polite to complain about the amount.

In my days we never got any money from users. I coded a lot some 20 years ago and the benefit was being hired for ones knowledge. That is exactly what happened to me. It gave me a new way of living and I enjoyed it a lot. Learned new things, etc...

Then again, in these days it might be harder to get a job. So yes, every donation to someone who makes an effort is nice.

Yes, besides my involvement in the Hubzilla development, I run a couple of hubs so every donation is really important to keep they run because equipment rental is not cheap.
Luckily my wife does not know how much I spend on it and other free projects I support :laughing:

Yes, all this IT stuff and especially coding is a fun. I love it from these times when I was a 14 y.o. and has an opportunity to interact with computer for the first time. Now I'm 46 and I still enjoy this.

@Max Kostikov I would love to code, but I do not have the intellectual capacity for it. I am 52, and the best I can do is some mediocre SQL or JavaScript, if I do not use it I lose it fast. I am a really dim guy, I could never pass college-level algebra so I do not have a degree. I think in some aspects I am a retard.

But I never stop trying and bettering myself. So if you are a good software developer make sure you understand and appreciate your gifts.
