What about the fact that each commit can be of wildly differing complexity and usefulness? It looks like in this system, a README typo fix would be worth exactly the same as fixing a threading deadlock issue.
- Palomides 13y agoyeah, that does seem 'unfair,' but anything involving any sort of metric could also be gamed (whereas simple commit count is less likely to be easily manipulable on most projects).
- umrashrf 13y ago"use branches with atomic commits and then get paid for based on each commit in the branch" model will likely fix this
- arsenische 13y agoMaybe in future we implement some other metrics, but as Palomides said, they can be gamed. It is just a tip, some additional incentive to make new commits. Hopefully it will attract attention of new developers to the projects that are needed by people.
