Misleading title. After the publication of this article that 1 Guy got a buncha money.

Well, it's misleading now . It wasn't misleading when it was published.

Yes, and normal communication is such that we preface what we're saying if it's set in another time. We don't when we're talking about the present time.

The fact that someone of his ability can take an intern's wages to do this, and for that long, shows the incredible altruism in tech.

The broad altruism in tech that has allowed this situation, and which still underfunds the projects' modest needs? Yes, astonishing generosity.

I meant of Koch in this case — the fact that he's getting a raw deal surely even more so emphasises his generosity, rather than undermining it.
