Mozilla should have spun-out a Rust consulting company.
- kzrdude 6y agoIt still can
- cogman10 6y agoNot really, they went and fired all their core Rust people.
- sidlls 6y agoThose core Rust people could form such a consultancy. They have a ripe market of people willing to part with their cash for it.
- cogman10 6y agoBird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush. I agree the rust core folk could have done that and probably made a pretty penny. The issue is setting up a new consultancy business is more complex and inherently more risky than just taking a cushy job from the companies that will pay handsomely for their talents.
- mlindner 6y agoThen why are a ton of the core Rust devs still Mozilla employees?
- steveklabnik 6y agoWho? Name names please!
- azakai 6y agoI think that could have worked. There were ideas to do such a thing, as well as consulting around wasm and other stuff. I'm not sure why none of them were actually tried.
- dzonga 6y agopeople like you should be getting paid the big bucks, not the current exec's at mozilla.
