Whether software development is about improving anyone’s life is up to us. I used to do OSS development because I like making fun software, now I do OSS development because I am intent on permanently ruining the value prop of predatory capitalist software shops. Their tragic flaw is that they must always seek profit above all else, and it will be their undoing because I don’t want to get rich. I want them to get fucked.
