Billion-dollar companies running on libraries maintained by some legend who hasn't slept since 2019 and survives on GitHub stars instead of actual compensation. Your banking app? Probably held together by a package some developer created in their basement and forgot about. The entire internet is basically balanced on the backs of unpaid maintainers who get 47 issues opened per day asking "when will you add feature X?" Meanwhile, Fortune 500 companies are making millions using their code and the most they get is a "thanks bro" in the README acknowledgments section. The visual nails it—massive infrastructure crushing down on the tiniest foundation imaginable. And yes, those ants are probably also dealing with merge conflicts and dependency hell while holding up the entire tech ecosystem. Maybe throw them a coffee donation? Or like... an actual salary?

Content Brad Dwyer AL braddwyer Sep 9 000 The cloud is horrible. Just discovered we accidentally left a GPU instance running that billed us 3000. Brad Dwyer ( braddwyer Sep 8 The cloud is amazing. We just spun up about 20,000 virtual computers to chug through regenerating 12 million image previews in our new style. In 23 real world minutes, we consumed the equivalent compute of letting my laptop chug 247 for 3 months and it cost about 10. Show this thread 195 17 2.1K 10.8K
