I lead🍺 Homebrew and spend a chunk of my week maintaining, mentoring, and building the tooling that keeps developers fast. I also create utilities like 👢 Strap and write an open source book about 📖 Git. 赞助hip lets me trade billable consulting hours for open-source time—triaging issues, reviewing PRs, improving CI/CD, and mentoring maintainers.

Fund an extra day/month of OSS work (reviews, fixes, docs) and regular public updates on what shipped.
