For real. I was not walking around with a libertarian chip on my shoulder. I had moved away from it, but seeing real jobs really changed that. My "public" jobs at the university had me reporting and recording a lot of what I did. Keeping track of grant money was a pretty serious deal. Having a job later in the private sector you can slack off a lot more. Pretty much every lazy government worker stereotype was there and kind of magnified. Every now and then I notice something else that is in conflict with the idea that unregulated capitalism is a good ideal.

There are going to be small and important FOSS projects that have burnt out maintainers, and possibly few eyes on. In principal someone should be getting paid to keep things safe in closed land, but security is a cost center and an easy cut for the MBAs in charge of things.
