opensource

Web2 was built on Open Source.

I created Homebrew, used by almost every web2 company… yet the most compensation I ever received was a (literal) “thank you for Homebrew” blanket from Google one cold winter.

PromiseKit, another project I created, was once used by over 100,000 apps including McDonalds—but I never even got so much as a Big Mac.

Open Source has a solvable sustainability problem. There’s a huge imbalance in those who gain from it versus those who build it. This imbalance could be both its problem and its solution.

Which is why I’ve spent the last two years building tea.xyz. At tea we strive to transform the perception of open source. Open Source is not charity; it’s fundamental and vital infrastructure that holds up the whole Internet and needs much needed intrinsic support.

With tea protocol both the creators and consumers are rewarded commensurate with the massive importance and value of open source.

The numbers work out: we don’t need much from every consumer of open source; we only need most of them to participate.
