I can easily see a scenario where the overtired guy committed a bug to OpenSSL because he was working on it in his spare time from a paying job.

Many, if not most of us, do the same thing. We get home - we test out ideas, burn off steam, do thing THE RIGHT WAY instead of the way we have to do it at work, etc.

Except for a lot of us, our stuff doesn't go net-wide, or is not important enough, etc.

His did.

I will be making a donation at some point in the future when I can afford it.



And he's going to quit his job with your donations now? Tired people can still commit code they don't plan on hiring all of the contributors.
