I'm paid to work on Open Source full time and have been for the better part of a decade.
I don't really agree with anything the article says. Open Source development is a segment of the industry. Getting a job in Open Source is really no different than getting a job in Game Development, Robotics, or any other niche market.
You generally have to (1) be willing to accept less pay (2) be more flexible about relocating (3) have specialized skills and experience or just get really lucky.
