I’m a computer engineering undergrad in my finals and I really don’t care about applying for jobs, there’s so much competition and I hate just about every one of my classmates. I don’t want to spend hours making shitty bloated proprietary software but 99% of jobs seem to be like that. Is it possible to actually make a career in free software, should I just ditch out of tech and pick something else
If you want to get away from competition, making foss is not the way to go. You’re making a product, and to make a living out of the product you must ensure people are willing to pay for it. And people won’t pay unless you have a competitive edge.
