Top developers can have a life outside coding
I think this article is detached from reality.<p>Most people who contribute to OS are on low income, unemployed or students. Top developers in banks and startups dont have time for that, or are forbidden by their company.<p>Being &quot;top developer&quot; is one of the most family friendly jobs that ever existed. You can work remotely at your own time. I quit cubicle and started working on opensource because I had family.<p>&gt; <i>you might develop a mental illness, like depression,</i><p>Many people in IT are a bit weird. Again its one of the most friendly jobs that exists. Developer does not even have to speak to people, all can be done via email.<p>&gt; <i>20-year-old white guys with no responsibilities and&#x2F;or with enough income to &quot;buy&quot; more free time</i><p>Good old racism and man hate is doing just fine.
