You're in the wrong place. Like 100% of people whose motivation for a career in comp sci was the money, it's better to quit now before you invest time and your own money for absolutely nothing.

Of those 100%, some of them went onto rewarding careers elsewhere. Some of them went into dreary jobs elsewhere. But they all eventually went elsewhere.

That's just not true. Plenty of people have made a career in comp sci entirely to make money. What are you talking about?

It's the typical basement dwelling no true Scotsman nerd. You're only a real programmer if you spend 18h a day writing code or complaining on IRC why your neovim doesn't work.

This arrogance is BTW exactly the kind of thinking that brought us Musk. Tech is great, tech will save us all, I can tech, I am great, I will save us all.

You can always release your software under the GPL and charge a licensing fee for an alternative proprietary license. Even the FSF and Richard Stallman are okay with that and it can absolutely be a viable and ethical business model.

So it wasn't open was it, it was now paid for to someone else?
