A great conversation via @macmartine with Mike Perham on how he got the idea for Sidekiq: the open source side project he's grown into a Million dollar a year business.
Conversation runs through how he was initially inspired, how he planned to monetize early on, and growing it into a real business. From licenses early on to commercial extensions that wound up 10x-ing his early income with Sidekiq Pro and finally Sidekiq Enterprise.
