A lot of the filter is just limited time and energy. A college kid has plenty of that, but not the right skills. There are more than a small number of people with the right skills but they have day jobs. That’s what makes think whoever was working on this was being paid upfront to do so. That said an obsessive with an easy day job and not a ton of family responsibilities is always a possibility.

Doesn't this apply to many OSS contributors? people with skills and free time?
