@ErikJonker@KathyReid i stopped contributing to SO about 10 years ago bc i realized i was generating value for a company and little to none for myself. at best, someone sees my profile and thinks, “gee, 8000 points, wow”. but i haven’t ever been able to convert that into jobs or money, whereas i have with open source contributions.
if anything, i’m a little suprised that people are just now realizing the cost of “free” corporate services
