I wonder how different the world would be if my grandparents had had YouTube and TikTok

@bkardell sure. but at least we have a chance to see what the world would be like for our children and grand-children

Before writing a full blog post, I want to gather some reactions.

What if we made it legally obligated that if an employee can show (putting aside the validation mechanism here, lot of options with different tradeoffs) they contribute to open source a bit (and i really mean a low amount. Even an obscure package count, even a few PR to fix real bug) on their non work time.

Then the employer have to give them one more (paid) free day a week. 80% job for the salary of 100% one.

@Di4na the interesting question is: who is "we" here? Should it be government or some kind of professional association? If government, then other professionals would want something similar for themselves

@Di4na can it be expanded to "volunteering in professional role"? basically, producing common good for the society

@Di4na I understand this case as I’m open-source contributor myself. But I know that governments prefer to work in general terms and it’s much more difficult to implement special case just for one area. Trying to be practical. Sorry. Good luck!
