I would hope that Keivan would be well compensated especially since they directly reached out in the first place. Credit in a Readme portion is the very least that he deserves. Even if the Microsoft team was only lightly influenced, the way to build a strong developer relationship community is to acknowledge someone else's expertise through proper compensation (monetary or otherwise). Besides, Microsoft can afford it!
- dilap 6y agoIt's always hard to know how much to generalize from the general HN sentiment, but... For a company that seems to be trying really hard to win back the hearts of devs, it seems like a no-brainer to have a policy in situations such as this to give $$$ to the dev. Take it out of the marketing budget.
- nirui 6y agoIn my opinion, "Credited in Readme" is what somebody should get when they committed an important, saver level patch for a free and open source software. Microsoft Windows however, is not that, at all. Microsoft should hire that guy which could be a better ending, but they did not. MS played this game really un-well I must say.
