> We funded the open-source SQLite VFS shim that helped isolate the race condition almost immediately, and will help track down similar bugs in the future. Interesting example of a company funding open source - in this case paying for the development of a new and very specific debugging tool.

Not only are they funding open source, they are actively allowing users to host their own control plane via headscale which is a libre implementation of the tailscale control protocol and developed by an engineer who works for Tailscale by day. This instantly made me trust and like them, even if at first I was cautious because I naturally mistrust anything that gets a lot of hype. I've been running headscale on NixOS, hosting my own tailnet since last year and everything just works out of the box. Tailscale lives up to the hype! <3
Yeah, tailscale seems to have leadership with their head on right, I agree with the way they handle a lot of things.
That's actually SQLite revenue model. https://sqlite.org/prosupport.html
Reading the article, it sounds more like they funded this by buying a SQLite support contract, and the SQLite developers created this in the process of helping them track down the issue.
Started using them like 2 weeks back, happy to see how they work.
