Love Vite, but always felt sorry for them because it was not clear how they can make money, the whole VoidZero thing felt like a stretch.

It's one of those things that always stopped me from building cool tools - you have to make a living somehow.

So I am happy for the team of builders that they were able to receive the deserved payout and sustainability.

A lot of these very popular FOSS products/frameworks simply are the worst ways to make money. You are selling to a demographic that doesn't want to pay for the tools and value they get. You end up competing against your own free version that can now be modified with a bit of AI agent session to get feature parity.
