Gregory's ServerWe need a system that pays people based on adoption of their project. A system that moves us towards an honest to God meritocracy.
This getting paid to sell other people's stuff, pollute, and steal others effort thing sucks.
If only it was so simple.
@BlueBee @jerry well, we have a system - you go get a job at a corporate entity that pays you to maintain open source - and provides professional services, like HR and an engineering structure, healthcare, and an environment where you get to talk to other human beings who share the same pain points, etc. Solo devs and maintainers hate it, resist it, disparage it, and produce phenomenal work without it - until the passion becomes drudgery. Maybe they could work together?
