问HN：有没有人找到从开源项目中赚钱的方法？
你好。我是《Go Micro》的作者，这是一个用于Go开发的开源框架。在过去的10年里，我一直没有找到一种可持续的方式来继续这个项目。我用自己的积蓄启动了这个项目，这意味着我辞去了工作，花光了银行账户里的钱，持续了9到10个月（大多数人没有这样的奢侈）。后来，我找到了一位企业赞助商（同样是朋友在帮我忙，而大多数人没有这样的机会）。经过大约4年的努力，我筹集了风险投资资金，试图围绕这个框架构建一个产品，并将其发展成一家真正的公司。但结果非常糟糕。因此，我认为开源的可持续性是很困难的，从我的亲身经历来看，我从未能做到这一点。我很好奇是否有人找到了办法？我们知道像Elastic、HashiCorp、Redis等公司，但有没有人在较小的规模上成功实现呢？我甚至记得Mike Perham与Sidekiq的故事，他独自实现了大约100万美元的销售。但同样，我自己从未能做到这些。

Hey. I'm the author of Go Micro. An open source framework for Go development. Over the past 10 years I never managed to find a sustainable way to keep working on this. I bootstrapped with my own savings. Meaning I quit my job and burned what was in a bank account for 9-10 months (most people don't have this luxury). I then managed to find a corporate sponsor (again a friend doing me a favour which most people don't have the luxury of). And after about 4 years of doing that I raised VC funding to try build a product around the framework and turn it into a real company. That went very poorly. So I think open source sustainability is hard and from first hand experience I never managed to make it work. I'm curious to know if anyone figured it out? We know elastic, hashicorp, redis, etc. But did anyone make it work in a smaller capacity? I even remember the story of Mike Perham with Sidekiq and doing like $1m in sales solo. But again I never managed to make any of it work myself.
