Sligtly off topic, but did anyone else do a double-take at the "make $1000 donation" form at the bottom?

The author justifies it immediately above:

> Also I’m trying out a donation button for the first time. If open source work like this is valuable for you, consider paying for it. The recommended donation is $20 (or your local cost for an item on a restaurant menu) for individuals, or $1000 for organizations. (or your local cost of hiring a contractor for a day) But any amount is appreciated.

But also, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
