   @zachleat you don't realize how valuable this is until you've seen it done somewhere and then not seen it done elsewhere

   @zachleat i'm avoiding having to do that by not taking vc funding :blobfoxcrylaugh:

   I’d like to revise and say that my hotter take is that every VC-funded *open source* software project should report both runway amounts and how many active FTE they have on payroll

      @zachleat the FTE number would be more valuable in general. Runway isn't typically fixed.

         @khalidabuhakmeh yeah, absolutely — I’d take FTE over runway. But with both you can better estimate how much time is left on the VC Hourglass of Funding™

      @zachleat How about they also need to report how much time is left before they relicense they project?
