This sentiment toward the likes of Bill Gates is the root of the problem. Someone builds a large company through massive advantage, luck, privilege, timing, and above average skill in a particular industry, and their starry-eyed wanna-bees

You just supported my point that these companies at their core have little value. A team? Teams are fleeting and easily replaced given the hiring and firing (and poaching) practices of companies. Industry connections? Maybe to some degree,

Maybe they are hired to resolve complex issues beyond the FAQ of a framework, because they know how the underpinnings of the framework work. Many frameworks and libraries are built in C++. Without curiosity and sense of adventure, what are

And yet the tech industry is far from diverse. It is predominantly male, white, and Indian. Did the US H1B program have an effect on this? Were some groups squeezed out even more from the tech industry due to H1B? For example, would there b

> There is a real danger with current era Bay Area tech that it is just a game of musical chairs played with money, with remarkably little external value being generated. So, you don’t think that is already the case?

Furthermore, you are dealing with someone (maintainer) who is giving their time for free to further the project so corps can use it to build stuff. Who better for a corporation to make unrecompensed demands from? They already demonstrate wi
