Hmm. My company gives everyone a $500 a year allowance for training and/or tools that we can use through OneRange. It shouldn’t be that hard to get approval to donate to an open source project.

This is all hypothetical. There isn’t any open source project I depend on that isn’t backed by a large corporation.



I've tried that and got heavy push back from other developers funnily enough.


Why? How does it affect them if you decide to use your allowance to donate?


Not affect them personally but more around what value is the business getting. We agreed to disagree :(


The value the business gets is continued development of free resources that they depend on. Not very hard :)
