Do not work for a company that defies your moral compass. Period. Integrity is what makes legends.

Companies are led by humans and their morals and priorities reflect all the way down.

I remember the pre-facebook era, it was about the same as now just less visually appealing. Ads were worse; they were able to redirect people to pay per view (on your phone bill) sites without notice; if you had a windows pc viruses could literally be installed by visiting a website; installing crackz was a gamble of wether you were infecting your pc or actually getting o play a game; downloads took an entire night and a day for an album; albums actually were sold per song; songs cost money; YouTube didn’t exist so TV was god; we called Friends via landline and listend to them to walk down the stairs as their mother held the apparatus in their hand, waiting to be relieved from her duty. That and most of my now bosses made most of their money scamming people and their competitors. It’s much more civilized now - trust me

Yeah, I just checked. All these guides are horrible advice - they seem like they are written by someone who read a book on something and is now the expert.

“Hit rock bottom, feeling in a rut? Try experimenting with positive emotions.” Thanks I’m cured.

Can someone rip your work? Yes. Is that really an issue? No. Just stealing the code changes nothing, the person needs to invest money to continue build it themselves. The original developers will always be at an advantage since they know the code base. The fork (the new version) also won’t benefit from any of the changes by the original developers, or they need to carefully copy them over. If the hostile fork is also open source then it doesn’t matter since you can just take their changes if they are good. Making it mutual.

You can also use licenses that forbid the closing of the source. Doesn’t stop real thief’s, but it gives you a tool to stop it and also anyone who ignores a license like that is also generally not very competent.

Yeah, can’t wait for all those unicorns to fold. It will be a great time for all companies that are doing 10-20% growth, as they will be getting all the money when investors start getting careful again

Ich finde man hat voll gemerkt das die Produzenten die Kuh melken wollen und deshalb jetzt son komischen Cameo von Lukashenko reingeforced haben. Hätte gerne das große Spektakel gesehen, aber den ging wohl die Kohle kurz vorm Schluss aus, halt mal wieder das ganze Budget oben abgezapft.
