Open-Source will make you richhhh! 🤑💸

#opensource #programming #productivity #career

YESSSSSSSSSSSS! YOU READ IT RIGHT 🎉

Open-source will make you rich. And, I'm NOT lying! Open-source is something like an ocean. "The deeper you dive, the more uniqueness you find" - RS (not sure, maybe someone else told this earlier 😂).

In this blog, I'll be trying to make you rich. But remember, you must have talent and sufficient knowledge to get this. Else, some one will take it.

Let's start this blog... 🐢

Big Question: How OS can make you rich??? 🎡

Some organizations add bounty in their project to keep their project alive and popular and to boost their community! They want to reward people for completing specific tasks or behaviors, which can help achieve a goal or solve a problem

Bounty
/ˈbaʊnti/

A bounty is a reward that is awarded for doing something that others can't be able to do.

In the Developer's world, bounty is a reward, mainly currency, awarded to those who solve/fix/find/document a particular issue for an Organization.

Quira's Solver Quest Launch!! 🚀

Recently, Quira launched its most awaited solver quest. If you want to know more about Quira and Solver Quest, read the blog below:

Use commands like @quest-bot embark to show your interest in a GitHub issue having an active Quest tag and @quest-bot loot when you raise a PR on such issues.

C'mon that's barely enough to buy a burger at McDonald's. Click baiting with the "Rich" claim.

Rohan Sharma • Nov 7

From which Galaxy do you belong? What's the price of a burger there?

C K • Nov 7

What's the price of a Lamborghini there?

Tushar Tyagi • Nov 7

What color is your Lamborghini?

Rohan Sharma • Nov 7 • Edited

The price of a Lamborghini(in my uni) should be equal to the price of a burger(in your uni) 🤣

Never mind, I understood your context. But there are more bounties coming, and that may you rich. Remember, solving a bounty issue will not only award you the bounty price but also a good reputation. You may land a good job from this and thus, would be able to buy a Lamborghini.

I don't why I didn't explain this thing in the blog. 😅

Edit: @paraspl01t I have a yellow one (of course a toy one; in India I used to buy the mini-models of branded cars at 5 INR. Missing those days 🙃). By the way, read this entire message!

In Brazil, 1850 USD is a relatively huge amount of money: some R$10.000,00. For context, this is over seven times the monthly minimum wage, around 3.5 times the average worker's monthly wage, or the equivalent of the entire annual earnings of roughly 35% of Brazilian families.

Never lose sight of how blessed you are to work in one of the highest-paying fields.

Jason Zamora • Nov 8

He's working in India. The US dollar is worth a lot more than the Rupee. $1 = ₹84.37 . So,
$250 = ₹21093.53 = "rich"

Rohan Sharma • Nov 8

Everyone has different angles of thinking. 😉

$250 = ₹21093.53 = "rich"
This amount doesn't make us rich. But the reputation we got, surely does!

ARE YOU READY?? 🔥

Wow, I gotta start shopping for a new home, perhaps even a mansion.

Jokes aside, I think there are many sharks out there taking advantage of open source. It's nothing new though, "businesses people" have learned a long time ago to take everything for granted, free products, free work, free minds. The good businesses are those who also contribute, not just take.

Rohan Sharma • Nov 8

Taking ❌
Giving ✅

That's OS tradition I guess. Only a few orgs come back to product and contribute/donate. 🙃

Alveek • Nov 7

WTF 🥴

Rohan Sharma • Nov 7

Haha 💸

KinsonDigital • Nov 8

🤦🏼‍♂️

Andy Wright • Nov 8

This is just an advert

Rohan Sharma • Nov 8

Not totally 🙃

Horace Nelson • Nov 8

The tl;dr: You will NOT get RICHHHHHH doing open source. Not a great article.

Rohan Sharma • Nov 8

What is richness for you?

I still think you can.. Must read this: dev.to/rohan_sharma/comment/2jclk

Adam • Nov 8

This is a great system. As a business that uses permissive open source in our commercial products. Often there are things we want to add/update but the upramp costs of finding someone, them getting familiar with the code base etc. eat up the budget.

We actually WANT to contribute in a cost effective way.

Will be looking into how to get bounties added to some projects!

Rohan Sharma • Nov 8

Hey Adam, could you please join the Discord server? I would love to provide you with all the details there!

I wonder what they think a poor person earns

Rohan Sharma • Nov 8

Poorness of course... (that was dark 👁️)
