Why? For developing that library I'd be perfectly happy if he'd made a fund raiser then spend the money on hookers and blow.
God knows that happens enough in finance for much worse outcomes.
- toyg 7y agoWe clearly have very different concepts of what "prompting for donations for project X" actually means.

The point wasn't specifically a complaint about spending $5K on a computer but more establishing a pattern of a lack of transparency which the author thinks has an overall negative effect on community-funded, multi-author/community-run open source projects in Python. Also, as described, it sounds like Smith - an author of the networking package which Reitz was planning to use - presumably knows what hardware needed to develop and test the network layer.
