some meaningless device driver code for a giant open source project.
Oh FUD. Don't write the bloody device driver. The whole point the article was making was that you can choose what you contribute and to what you contribute with open source. If you'd rather write something else, write something else. If you're trying to make a name for yourself write something that will get noticed. It's certainly a lot more amenable to some people's preferences than your 'spare time start up' idea.
- jasonkester 17y agoThat term stands for "Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt", right? As such, I don't see how it applies to my point. If you're looking to do something noticeable, do something noticeable. Open source has nothing to do with the issue. I mean sure, you could conceivably do something noticeable in an open source project, but then you could also conceivably do something noticeable working at your cube farm. Startups are by definition noticeable, otherwise they go away immediately.
