The modern tech industry: a massive elephant (literally the entire world's IT infrastructure) balanced precariously on a beach ball being carried by a couple of ants (unpaid open source devs).

Nothing says "sustainable business model" quite like trillion-dollar companies building their empires on packages maintained by some sleep-deprived developer who's fixing critical security bugs during their lunch break.

Next time your boss asks why the server crashed, just whisper: "Someone's npm package maintainer finally got a girlfriend and stopped coding on weekends."
