Why do i even bother with this shit?

On top of that I have to pay a significant sum of money for each of the contribution only to be treated like shit and having to rewrite my code into disfunctional trash.

@kreyren Uhm, why do you have to pay to contribute?

@hackbyte
* Buying the hardware - [216.59 USD](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005532736080.html)

* Development time - 37h of work, i usually take around 40~100 EUR/h, for project alike armbian even 3 EUR/h adds up

* Sometimes i have to pay so that i get the information needed to make the hardware work - Hard to estimate

* Additional accessories to work with the device - ~10 EUR

But like the money is not an issue i can somewhat cover it.

The issue is code quality and treatment

Like https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/5691#issuecomment-1712735852 'we earn nothing because we teach you' and shit alike.. like i can't even ask on IRC for help with the code without being treated as an annoyance and having to search the very hard to read code myself and trying to change things to see what it does which was 70% of the development for LicheePi 4A and this is like constant shit and having to turn my code from a reliable, easy to read and understand thing into a garbage just to make it mergable

@kreyren Got ya ..... didn't knew that you actually waded that deep into this rabbit hole.... Would like to look up your donation addresses rn to chip in at least some bits.

Maybe give me a paypal address or such? ;)

@kreyren Heh .. ok i need o look how i can get down payments that way ........ i'm well into that realm, but most of my reserves are in other currencies.... ;)
