What data do you have to support this? I think it's the exact opposite.

My day-to-day tasks are all around private repos too. But for some reason I keep having to patch, fix, edit, hack other people's open source projects. If you don't, maybe it's time to look for a piece inside a private repo that could be use

I think the issue is that it's a web tool and you're trying to make an app. Port it to phones, you'll get a lot of people buying it for 99c.

If you have a different experience, you should write about it! About a 100% of engineers around me have succeeded in finding jobs very quickly and had choices, which is not the experience of 95% of people in this world.
