no. i only code for myself.
No. Frick you.

No.
Open source projects make pajeets equal with the developers from the first world, are the greatest equalizer.
I don’t want to be equalized, because is not fair as the life and the expenses are way higher in the first world than in the 3rd world.
pajeets are the reason why no sane white person pursues a career in STEM. They are better of in retail or sales where their career cannot be dumped easy or compromised on quality.
I know a javascript programmer who hates his job and coding but gets paid a 6 figure salary. He prefers building scale models over coding with his free time. I find it funny most professional programers are chads that exercise and spend their free time outdoors, while actual nerds are more like incels that stay in doors and play videogames all day but have no idea how to troubleshoot their own technology.
Yes, because I'm paid to work on a codebase that gets upstreamed to the linux kernel
post patches
No, my time is worth more than 0$/hour
No. Because I'm not paid to.
When have open source projects ever contributed to me?
>When have open source projects ever contributed to me?
Literally when you submitted your post. A whole buch of open source software was used for that.
but i posted this on a windows machine?
seriously my family makes fun of me for using linux because I spend most of my time troubleshooting and banging my head getting the software to function and not brick my devices.
this pretty much. Programmers prefer to have their own fiefdom then make a small program that is compatible across multiple platforms. Not that I can blame them for how much money and job security there is in having your own fiefdom.
no
it takes about twice as long to understand a codebase than to write one yourself
Yes. Because I get paid to
>Do you contribute to open source projects?
No. I would like too, but
>Why or why not?
I have no idea what I am doing. And it seems like a lot of projects don't even want programmers, but prefer to have money or people to work on community support (making fun of newbies on forums). I see very little of the opensource community trying to encourage training, despite the open source community being built on sharing code. The few times I even tried to contribute to bug filing they just seem to ignore and make it so bug filing is about as exciting as filling out a job history form.
I can't program and even If I could I would never do it for free
I'm a moron
maybe i report some bugs but that is all.
yes. I make features I need, get them upstreamed, then disappear so they need to put up with maintaining that shit
I've contributed some small features/fixes to one project, but I want to branch out more. But, trying to understand a code base is a lot of work and I lack the motivation to read code for hours that has little to no documentation
no
because my code sucks
I have written an open source script during my work in my last company that is now widely used by many other corporations interested in encryption. My manager thought it was a good idea to make the project public in the hope that others will benefit from it and contribute back. And he was very much right. Other than that, I have forked quite a few open source projects and make a few changes here and there, some of which are now merged, but nothing substantial. If I find good use in something and find that I can improve it with little to moderate effort, I have no problem to share it back to the original developer so everyone can benefit.
>pajeet forks your code
>makes some edits
>pings the whole company
>sends out 300k emails
in all seriousness though, did others actually contribute back to your open source encryption stuff?
yes, many. I don't work there anymore but they are still maintaining it.
i think thats really cool, i hope i can do something and contribute back to the community one day.
In a moment of weakness, I sent LibreOffice $130 instead of buying yet another MS Office license the last time I reinstalled Windows about a year ago.
>paying for ms license
brother...
No, because its hard and its above everyones itt level
Yeah but I keep my commits as patch files and only hand them out to some of my friends.
I implemented tons of missing features in Wine for playing some singleplayer story-driven games and I integrated libinput into qemu for touchpad passthrough but I will never upstream because I don't like to talk to other opensource developers.
Kek I bet you're fun at parties
Just because I don't want to talk to a bunch of greasy entitled autists doesn't mean I'm socially incapable, sorry.
I would if I could code 🙁
10 print "sorry"
20 goto 10
maybe one day
curently not
>why not?
i don't know how to
