I've sold out pi, the little coding agent that could. This OSS veteran, known for libGDX and RoboVM, explains why. His journey reveals the brutal realities of commercializing open source.

After RoboVM's sale to Microsoft, the OSS core was closed, devastating the community. He learned hard lessons about VC funding, corporate control, and the immense stress of being a CEO. Now, with a young family, he prioritizes them over building a VC-backed startup around pi.

His solution: keep pi open-source with a small, sustainable team, avoiding past pitfalls. He wants to build, not manage, and ensure pi's community thrives without repeating RoboVM's closure.
