This would take a lot of management though.. What happens if someone is contributing a lot less than the others? Or a lot more?

- candiddevmike 4y agoWhat happens in any other company in this situation?
- willio58 4y agoMost of the time? Nothing. Which is fine if you don’t mind putting in more effort for the same pay as someone in your co-op, but at that point why are you in a co-op?
- mikrl 4y agoI don’t know but I’d probably reach out to other co-ops to see how they solve the freeloader problem. Co-ops exist in industries that require more management than SWE, no reason it couldn’t work for devs too. Plus, if your first and primary concern is the hard problem of who does more than whom, maybe you just aren’t temperamentally suited for a coop.
- willio58 4y agoI don’t discount the feasibility of co-ops, but to say they require no management is simply untrue.
