when i make things for people, I like to make it as good of a user experience as possible.
when these things i make for people take up a lot of time, i end up with less time to do other things.
when i have less time to do other things, i get less money from any work I do because I do less of it.

gh sponsors help offset that by a lot, because now I get paid for the thing that used to make me get paid less.
