Can I ask how it's decided what you are working on?
Given the variety of the projects you've mentioned it could seem that you have some degree of freedom, but I might be mistaken.
- emersion 4y agoYeah, there is a lot of freedom, it's pretty similar to how an open-source project works. Pierre-Loup indicates what features would be nice to have (in gamescope or other projects), I can pick from that list. Or I can pick my own ideas and work on these. Or I can discuss with the other contractors, come up with an idea and coordinate our work. Sometimes I work on short-term bugfixes, sometimes I work on long-term plumbing efforts.
- jeppester 4y agoThat all sounds great. I must say I'm quite envious of your job. Getting paid to work on something that benefits the whole community, and with a great level of freedom! Unfortunately my skillset as a senior full stack dev seems rather irrelevant for jobs in and around OSS. It appears those jobs are mostly C and C++.
