It may happen on smaller projects with few users but not in meaningful large projects.
- janalsncm 4mo ago> there's very little evidence to support this opinion other than just wishing it was true Building a brand doesn’t require submitting to someone else’s open source project. You can do the same thing by creating your own OSS project. For a lot of them it’s probably a little of column A and a little of column B. If people are submitting in their real name it’s more likely they’re building a brand. I also think it’s possible for someone to genuinely think they are helping without trying to build reputation.
- Sharlin 4mo agoOh but you see, own OSS projects are not worth much unless they got stars. Anyone can now fill their GitHub space with a hundred vibecoded projects in an afternoon, it's worth nothing unless it comes with social proof.
