Thank You - to that Random Person who maintains that one special library we all depend on

Hahaha! It's not often that I come across a comic that cracks me up. This is definitely a good one, though, and I think actually reflects a lot on our culture of modern technology. This makes me think about the capitalistic world and the lack of appreciation (via financial compensation) for open source developers. Eventually, programmers will need to be taught to privatize their code and negotiate on matters of advancing society. Perhaps some kind of blockchain stamp that signals royalties due to original programmer each time his/her code is used in a new program or product? I don't know, but I'm sure the day will come where the Open Source world will no longer exist. Or for a subscription fee (like online newspapers).
