Writing good code requires time. I don't see how being sponsored for
development should have a negative correlation (in general) to the time
invested on a specific topic/patch.
Let us say somebody worked one day on a sponsored patch. They now have
two choices:
- spend another day refactoring the code, designing functions API so
that they can be shared with existing code;
- submit as is and start working on a new patch for a new sponsorship.
Which one will be more attractive?
I would assume that a sponsor's interest in sustainability is at least
equal to the interest of somebody doing development in free time. At
least I don't see an evident point why the interest should be different
per se.
To me the more helpful discussion would be around how to resolve
conflicts during code review and improve patch quality, rather than the
influence of sponsorship.
Best regards,
Tobias
