from my pov, the most important thing with open source monetisation is incentive structures

👉 namely, it's incredibly important to align 'path to profit' with community best interest

funding that arrives _without_ a clear plan or 'separation of powers' can be a risk

what do you think about the use of VC money to fund Vite? Also the use of VC in open source in general https://roe.dev/ama

there's lots to admire in the next.js world

▶️ the conferences are next-level 🔥 ▶️ love the way they surface + praise cool stuff 😎

... but right now I especially like seeing COSS projects built on next - and love that we're seeing this more & more in nuxt too 🔥

What do you envy about Next.js and would like to see in Nuxt? https://roe.dev/ama

yes, I've tried zed

initially the lack of `*.vue` support was obviously a deal-breaker

now? it looks great and feels snappy - but the value proposition isn't compelling enough for me to switch

#ama

have you given Zed editor a try? what did you think? https://roe.dev/ama

the error message you'll get is:

``` Error: Destination /Users/daniel/nuxt-app already exists. ```

but if you add the `-f`/`--force` flag, then it will allow you to do so.

Why I can’t do “pnpm dlx nuxi@latest init . “ to start a project in my current folder? https://roe.dev/ama

i invest in mutual funds which minimise the tax reporting I would have to do between us/uk

▶️ vanguard etfs in particular are excellent ▶️ I don't generally invest in particular stocks but try to pick broad market patterns (like green energy) that I think will see growth

periodic reminder: if you've written or coded something and it gets deleted ...

... it's not a disaster

💪 you can always write it again - and almost certainly better the second time

(I tell this to myself often)

(this also applies to browser tabs)

okay tell me now ...

would anyone conceivably be up for a ski + code retreat somewhere in Europe?

🏠 rent a small chalet 🎿 skiing in the day (if that's your thing) 🍷 chilling/coding/board games in the evening

Skiing meet up when? https://roe.dev/ama

just an observation from my ask-me-anything questions

you would not believe how many people have very similar struggles

- feeling demotivated - feeling like an imposter - struggling to sleep - wondering how to organise time or be effective

etc. etc.

🚨 PSA 🚨

please never feel bad about cancelling a sponsorship to me

👉 here's what I wish I could say:

1️⃣ thank you ❤️
2️⃣ there are lots of good reasons not to keep giving ¹
3️⃣ I won't assume it was because of me
4️⃣ don't feel awkward
5️⃣ ... and don't go away! ² 🙏

¹ Here are some good reasons:

‣ reduced budget
‣ sponsoring someone else
‣ it doesn't bring joy

‣ ... literally anything else

The point of a gift is that it's *freely given*. The last thing anyone wants is someone to feel obliged to keep giving it.

² I'm far more sad when I see someone stop appearing in Discord chats or GitHub issues/discussions/PRs.

(And I do worry often that when money gets involved it can ruin what is much more important - relationships.)

(But that might be a discussion for another day.)
