I have never been directly paid for my OSS work, but I am well compensated because of it.

- kemitchell 8y agoAre you well compensated for proprietary work? Currently, it's very common to develop reputation, or even learn development, in open source, and then transition to a job in proprietary development. Would you agree that means there's a break-even point, where programmers have learned enough from open source to earn well as proprietary developers, and lose any financial incentive to contribute open source on their own, without patronage?
