I struggled to find a decent job that would let me build FOSS to the depth and quality level I want. But when the job you want does not exist, then sometimes the answer is creating that job.

I started a FOSS linux distro, stagex, and co-founded a convenience-tax model FOSS PaaS based on it, Caution, which is in the current YC batch. Several customers already with more onboarding that are making early profitability very likely.

Hoping to lead by example on this one building a profitable company on 100% FOSS and maybe more are encouraged to follow.

That is -my- dream and solution. We will see what happens!
