' Epoch Times: How do you spend your time when you’re not working on OpenBSD?

I go hiking around the world a little bit. I like a pint or two once in a while, and I like my mountain bike. I’ve got a girlfriend. I spent the last three days basically carting four truckloads’ worth of compost and dirt to her garden. Just a regular life like everybody else, but OpenBSD is my job and OpenBSD is my hobby, and I’m very serious about it. '

Anybody know because Theo de Raadt does not work on Google or Microsoft to have more money to spend when he is not working on OpenBSD?

It's exactly why he says: OpenBSD is his job, and it's his hobby. He works full-time on maintaining the operating system, and also works on it for fun. It's the same as if anyone here were lucky enough to be able to work on their OS for a living.

I know for certain if someone wanted to pay me a living wage to do one of my hobbies full-time I'd be doing it for fun as well too. And I certainly wouldn't be going back to working for someone else.
