Wife: Why do you sitting in front of your laptop again, you already did that 8 hours at work today?

Me: I am trying to fix an issue in one of my OSS projects. 😁

Wife: Who are you doing this for?

Me: The package has ~ 6.000.000 downloads (e.g. packagist.org/packages/voku/portab...). 😁

Wife: And how if paying for this?

Me: It's open source, you do not need to pay for it. 😁

Wife: So the 4 € from github last month was alms for the (stupid) developer which is doing OSS work?

Me: Yes, something like that. πŸ˜’
