- varispeed 5y agoIt's a figure of speech, but I've seen 10 year old commits still doing well in production and some written before even git was a thing. Given how much value this work generates, it's time developers got together and put a pressure on companies to pay fairer and proportionally to profits they are generating. I'd even opt for a legislation that would make contract clauses about giving up royalties illegal.
