Hasn't really changed.. the main orgs are completely dysfunctional
and, somehow, still fundraising. There's no need to have "the best
team" or "the best hackers" in non-profits, because philanthropists
dump money for different reasons.. it's also why there's 100s of
cancer orgs that do the same thing. Reminds me of that definition of
insanity.
