Thank you for your reply. You brought up a great point. I just noticed that I forgot to port over two (2) more points relating to employer and procrastination
My employers doesn’t care — I would love a job that requires contributing back to the open source community.
The companies that I have worked so far massively use open source but, they rarely contribute back. I work with a financial firm as well and I have been trying to convince the company to
Contribute back whenever we build on top of open source
Open source certain tools and solutions
Motivate their employees to contribute to open source (doesn't have to be work related)
Contribute in the form of $ in return for all the open source software that we use
The BlackDuck survey linked in the article shows that a decent number of companies promote open source contribution. Hopefully over time the companies that oppose open source contribution or the silence treatment would change their point of view. I would love to be part of a company that encourages their employees to contribute to open source, it would be amazing to work alongside other open source contributors.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
