Lost of interesting ideas in this presentation. (Even though it's essentially a https://datasette.io/ presentation.)
For example:
You can get in touch with the maintainers of the software you’re using and say: Hey, we’d love to know more about this. We will pay you to jump on the Zoom call with our team and answer questions and talk about what you’re doing.
This is a call to action. If you’ve got projects that you depend on and you want to support them, try this sneaky backhand way of funnelling money there.
