I see open source contributions as your donations. contributors aren't skilled enough to build the softwares we use, but want to help out. Funds are shallow for devs as is. Devs arent trying to do tip-outs bro.

yeah we not respected because it’s not sats we donated
To be fair, just donating sats doesnt earn you respect.
Sats are valuable around here though, so people do see it.
You are contributing and we value that, but Im not sure you will ever get sats for it, when devs that are building things aren't getting zaps.
That’s what they want you to think 🧐 :) personally i am just happy to have something to pass my time
Undeniably devs could make way more money working for FAANG. Especially the devs that are smart enough to build tools. FOSS doesn't pay an annual wage.
Any work in FAANG for UI/UX aka drag and dropping emojis ?
Doesn't change the pay tho. If its so easy then why dont you build instead of contribute?
Because I didn’t even have a laptop when i had the interest in being a dev so everyone got the head start building everything but now others need tweaks
There's still tons of work to be done on bitcoin and nostr. That's like saying you missed the internet craze in the 90's. Lots to come.
Try just 2012 really . Honestly not even claiming to be a dev but if anyone needs something i can do I don’t mind getting paid a peanut for it . Otherwise, more experienced devs available who might do it for free or ask for more
No one is going to come to you to contribute. You have to seek out the work and let the sats roll in once you add the value. The way to make money as a dev is to build and get donations/grrants, not do bounties.
Thank god I’m not a dev then. Silicon Valley promised lucrative tech jobs 😂 😂 Rappers too ! Oh well , I’m having fun being just an Ostrich now
Avoid taking advice from the Valley. They make money on lies.
Doesn’t everything? The fact that money exists and it’s a lie ? Wake up
Lots of honest folks that don't understand money. Everything isnt a lie, but everything has been effected by lies.
Money is a mental construct. Nobody is supposed to understand those
Doesn't mean it doesn't effect the world we live in. Doesn't make honest folks evil.
That’s the point! System of control keeps you uniformed so you keep playing your part ! Honest people just do by the rules set lol
That's our job. Get people out of the Matrix. Looking at people as stupid doesn't improve the situation. We are talking about multi Billion dollar propaganda campaigns.
They do it cause it works for many people.
We are here to save individuals from failure and despair. Be grateful you are already on the other side.
I’m on the door kicking it down
Unless you work for FAANG. Then you make ungodly money and do much less work than FOSS devs that rely on donations and grants.
FOSS devs can be proud of what they build tho.
Facebook devs are soulless.
I just shit post I don’t work at all . I’m an unemployed previously was deejay turn starving artist.
