Sorry, but there are plenty of 'fun' things and problems I can work on without essentially doing spec work for someone who will then feel perfectly free to ignore it. That is to say, problems where I can be sure I'll see a reward for my work that is meaningful to me, instead of potentially wasting my time.
Also, "rockstar?" Really, reddit? Seriously?
- mkr-hn 16y agoI think that was tongue-in-cheek. The people behind Reddit are as silly as the people who use it. I know _I'm_ a silly Reddit user.
- jedberg 16y agorockstar was tounge-in-cheek. And spec work is asking someone to do work and then paying them for that work if you like it. This is not spec work. We already have the things we are asking for, so they are of no use to us. They are to demonstrate skill and determination. It is not spec work.
