I don't think there's a barrier to monetizing beyond developer motivation to write it. Though, I also like strange ideas like providing users the ability to sell irrevocable advertising space next to their comments as NFTs if they have these ads enabled.

Oh come on, the potential for shenanigans would be massive.

Yeah, brands would love to pay for advertising space in "ifuckedyourmom" user posts about how hitler was such a nice guy after all.

Yes but IMO the merge conflict PPV would work and be awesome, and the straight-up bribery already works.

The guy doing the bribing is never dumb enough to take over maintaining it though 8(

Microsoft: saving so I have a baseline ~~of what not to do~~ for our GitHub 2025 roadmap

Rebrand Github as an MMO were people fight for code dominance.

Man the last one really hits home. I would transfer all of my github projects for a stable livable job

[–] absentbird@lemm.ee 10 points 4 months ago

What's your area of expertise? In my experience software jobs that pay a livable wage are pretty common, it's finding one that isn't miserable work for a terrible company that's the tricky part.

Bottom left one is laughable. I don't think we'd have Mongo, Elastic, and Redis all on SSPL if that was true. (And yes, I know this post is a joke, I'm not trying to suggest it was a real suggestion.)
