Anyone here make over $250 an hour?

If I can get him to recite the GNU+pasta, that's cheaper than someone like Tyrone.
Robert Turner
I read somewhere that he used to make money like this when GNU just got started. He asked a high hourly wage to extend his own software, and got away with it because he already knew the software very well and so would be able to do it faster and better than anyone else.
Nathan Rodriguez
That's to offset the problem that he usually isn't working. He lives like a hobo for a reason.
Mason Jenkins
He lives like a hobo because he doesn't want to spend money and be very reliant on money, not because he doesn't have money. He received a lot of money from a MacArthur fellowship award and I think the FSF pays him a salary.
Jayden Cruz
The MacArthur fellowship was quite a long time ago now.
Parker Perez
Yes, but he has been living like a hobo all that time. You can make that money last.
I think his legal residence was his MIT office for a long time.
Easton Ward
pretty sure stallman has enough money saved to live a middle class life if he wants to
Sebastian Brooks
He did sell Emacs and his services was topnotch.
Visualize that this man alone for a whole year bested the whole symbolic team developing faster and making more/better features.
He was a monster when it came to software development.
Read:
gnu.org
or the book
en.wikipedia.org
I won't say that he lived like hobo, he just has small needs.
But having a roof and drinkable water is definitively required for him, so hobo I don't think so.
It's still his.
MIT attributed him a permanent residence for his services.
Bentley Martinez
Selling Emacs was a different way of making money.

If I remember correctly he just wrote features and fixed bugs by looking at changelogs, and wrote code that wasn't quite as pretty as the "original" code. Still an amazing achievement, but his output was not better than that of the entire Symbolics team.
It's not his residence any more.

Brayden James
$250 in 2002
That's a least $350 - $400 today.
Or about the average fee of an attorney.
Pretty disappointing, considering he's not only a tier-1 developer, but an MIT professor and a celebrity.
And that's why the best and brightest avoid a career in software development.
Jace Long
Well no wonder he's so out of shape. He must have the metabolism of a sloth.
Jonathan Price
My parents looked up c++ job openings and they found one that offers a $200,000 per year salary and they delusionally think that a college graduate would get such a job. I doubt I will even make 60k a year let alone find work right away after graduation. Now my mom keeps babbling on "Oh you're going to make twice as much as your dad! We're going to live in such a nice house!"
Jace Clark
It doesn't matter if you command $5000/h as a specialist lawyer, it is a fact that working hard for your money is an extremely expensive way to get money. If your goal is to get a lot of money, then you don't do it by working hard.

FTFY
Jaxson Smith
From the book and external viewers his code was sometimes better than the symbolic team.
And yes he did cloned the function that symbolic integrated or wanted to integrate.
yes
What's incredible is that he was faster to make WORKING code against an entire team.
Oh I thought he still had residence in the campus.
Good to know.
Aaron Wilson
Not incorrect
Jayden Watson

Luke Williams
How is it wrong to say less? And if it's wrong to say less, then what do you say when you want to say more?
Sebastian Baker
because less is more.
Jason Baker
Protip: No one is going to pay you that much if you don't ask.
Parker King
he replies to emails for free
let's exploit this and sell his answers
INFINITE GNU/MONEY!!!!
Jaxson Edwards
Less if for uncountable nouns (ie. real values). Few is for countables (integers).
Saying less humans sounds dumb (to an intelligent person) in the same way that "few waters" sounds dumb.
Let me blow your mind with something else: The plural of person is persons, "people" is singular. I'll let you figure that out with a dictionary.
Many more humans, or more numerous humans.
