Ask HN: How sustainable is working open source full time?

2 pointsby chetanbhasinover 2 years ago
Hi all! I just saw that Photoprism, an open source project, was posted on HN.<p>I&#x27;ve been wondering how it is like for people to work on an open source project(s) such as the example and make a living?<p>Is there anyone here does that? Is this a sustainable lifestyle for a middle-aged man with children?<p>I ask because I&#x27;ve considered several times working on technologies and causes that I care about and making them open source, but I have a particularly good paying job at the moment, which is something that&#x27;s hard to ignore someone without much savings.
