I'm afraid we'll have to agree to disagree on this one Scott, on a philosophical level.
We have companies like pullrequest.com monetizing code quality (currently only private but I presume they'll enter the OSS market at some point), and then other companies who are monetizing security audits. None of this money trickles down to the distributed teams of developers writing the software in the first place. This makes me uncomfortable - and you are right we do have to find ways to help with this.
- CiPHPerCoder 5y agoI think I understand why it makes you uncomfortable. I do think they're two separate problems, and must be solved independently. Left unsolved, what you're experiencing is mostly bad optics rather than a dependent nastiness. It's a bad look, and it leaves a bad taste in one's mouth. That being said, we both agree it's worth solving. However, I'm not an economist, by any measure, so I don't have any insight into what a solution looks like.
