I'm just saying short term is how you may attract talent. Your asking for super coders, but don't provide a market rate salary and you're also asking for them to have Foss work showing on their github.
So you want someone who worked for free in the past and also to pay them less than what they can make. I feel like those are difficult combinations. I don't contribute to Foss codebases myself, but I use them in my day job and home server, but none of that shows on github.
i'm personally willing to get paid under market rate to not deal with shitcoinery, or to be able to do something to promote my preferred programming language
there can often be a conflict between those two also, there is way way too many bitcoin and nostr related projects these days that want to build more crap in rust and that really bugs me, i don't want to work in a project where i'm making it harder for people to get away from that mozilla garbage
What language do you like? Go?
#golang maxi here, reporting for duty
no, i have been in this thing for years, and first started tinkering with languages back in like 1988
most of the popular languages are unergonomic and expensive to compile, or interpreters, that are extremely slow
yes, optimise later, but wen optimize?
i think that there is a mentality about placating some of the insiders who have already learned the complex code of a system, and pimping the supposed benefits, usually of their "expressivity" or "DRY" (don't repeat yourself) properties, but honestly
firstly, expressivity is not a good thing, because it explodes into idiocy (as in, unique takes that don't parse well next to the rest)
secondly, not repeating yourself when you are actually repeating yourself is self deception, and many languages don't make a clear distinction between this and let the programmers write crazy shit that implies ridiculous repetition
this is why i'm a Go programmer
the guiding principles of its architects is clearly towards reducing the costs of production and i think that's really key to actually resulting in a benefit to society
Yes, we are paying up to $8k/month for #FOSS development. Others pay for FOSS development, too. Your lack of appreciation for FOSS shows, so you might just not be the right guy for the job.
So far, 11 applied. 3 look like a good fit. We will see ...
