I think OSS is a hoax. We're incentivized to give away immeasurable amounts of our time and 99% of these people don't get back much (if anything). I've been producing OSS code for 3-4 years, and although I'm really happy that people are using the code I've written (and reading my tutorials) I can give you many-many examples of __very important__ OSS code, that's maintained by people for free in their free time and they get almost nothing back. I've stopped producing new stuff a year ago, and now all my extra time goes into endeavors that have the potential for profit. My problem is that many many big companies say that OSS is important, that OSS is a "good cause", etc, but the fact is that it is mostly free labor for "achievements", and green boxes on a webpage. It is smoke and mirrors.
