Developer @skoooookum argues an empty public GitHub profile can simply reflect a career focused on generating revenue

@paularambles he's right. and also cracked

@paularambles And I have few open source projects that actually useful, and used, and nobody cares, still hard to find a job.

@paularambles Sadly it also means you only write code that makes money

@starbaser @paularambles that's wrong?

@paularambles this used to be the case but then the opposite happened to me, actually. i started releasing a tonne of free software to push the industry in the right direction for my development agenda.

@paularambles It’s in poor taste to say that, even if it’s true and not projection from a programmer-turned-manager who hasn’t written much code in years, which is what it often is.

@paularambles This also applies to projects that are private & make money without a job

@paularambles allat for a telegram bot

@paularambles what about private contributions uh?

@paularambles tweet de época

@paularambles Did the CI pipeline just fail?

@paularambles @CoolTwixy talked about this

@paularambles the cooperativists who marx and rosa answered long ago faced this same problem. you must carry out a revolution against capitalism itself or it will erase you from within or without. there is no real victory for open source except total victory, the profit motive has to end.

@paularambles Both are equally terrifying.

@paularambles skill issue

@paularambles Real

@paularambles Yeah like 15 years ago when I thought it would maybe be fun to have a repo I thought also that I could just do some paid overtime or paid side projects for some businesses instead (and I did)

@paularambles it actually tracks the private repo contributions (if) the company uses github

@paularambles Real

@paularambles Real ones know: the best code never sees a public repo 💰
