You sound incredibly entitled. "Give me free things done to my specs, or Microsoft won. No, of course you don't deserve a salary for that."
> Are you writing your own OS, prog-lang and compiler from scratch too?
Yes -- I'm an OpenBSD and 9front committer, and I have built my own language and compiler. My website -- https://orib.dev https://orib.dev -- runs code I can commit to all the way down to the hardware.
But that's neither here nor there. I do that because it's fun. You also don't get to demand work from me without paying.
- Chris2048 5y ago> You sound.. Is sounds entitled b/c you paraphrased it uncharitably. I didn't ask for "any spec" - there's a big (Hippocratic) difference between dictating what form something comes in, and asking that it do no harm. A poison cupcake, much like a poorly secured software, could wipe out any benefit it brings. Also, I'm not demanding anything: feel free not to produce anything; But if you do, make it reasonably secure, or clearly/explicitly communicate that is it insecure; in the same way websites are (supposed) to seek permissions for cookies rather than assume them. The context of "or Microsoft won" is that MS pushed the idea that FOSS could not be trusted without legal liability - this essentially makes that case. I provided a few example of where people are expected to do things without being paid, do you also refuse to do those things?
