+> (...) Checking code into a directory managed by npm is simply asinine, and
+> putting symlinks in there is just as "coupled to the runtime environment

+> path.

+> I’ve often said that you can make money in FOSS, but not usually by accident.
+> Don’t just build your project and wait for the big bucks to start rolling in.
+> You need to take the business-building seriously from the start. What is the
+> organization of your company? Who will you work with? What kind of clients
+> or customers will you court? Do you know how to reach them? How much they’re
+> willing to pay? What you will sell? Do you have a budget? If you want to
+> make money from your project, sit down and answer these questions seriously.
+>
+> Different kinds of software projects make money in different ways. Some
+> projects with enterprise-oriented software may be able to sell support
+> contracts. Some can sell consultants to work on integration and feature
+> development. Maybe you can write books about your software, or teach courses
+> on it. Perhaps your software, like the kind my company builds, is well-suited
+> to being sold as a service. Some projects simply solicit donations, but this
+> is the most difficult approach.
