They are far more likely to produce quality work by patriotism or material rewards.
- emteycz 5y agoI don't think they had a gun to their head literally, or that the threat was voiced - but IMHO not many of them would defy the order and definitely would not try to make the project slow down or fail, due to the implied threat of "disappearance". > They are far more likely to produce quality work by patriotism or material rewards. Is that really what you feel as a programmer that has to take free and open software and make it closed and spying while pretending it was your country that made the entire OS and apps and it's not just a rebrand? I can agree with the material rewards. DPRK can probably make the best offers - maybe they're not paying in USD but most probably still enough to have a house/skyscraper apartment, servants, personal chef and driver, etc.
