I don't do it because I am helpful, but because I'm paid to do so.
- palata 2y agoYou're paid to produce code, not to fight against open sourcing it.
- tiborsaas 2y agoNot really, code is a means to an end, we are paid to solve problems and sometimes it translates to writing or deleting code.
- palata 2y agoYou're being pedantic here, but missing the point. The parent implies that they "go out of their way to keep their employer's code proprietary" because they are paid for it. I was merely noting that they are not paid for that. They are paid to [solve problems] (which I expressed as "write code").
