Salary benchmarks
Our take
Volunteer open source developers have created remarkable tools and software that wind up being used even by the likes of Google and Square. Instead of compensation, however, they all too often receive backlash for error and pressure to iron out bugs. Max Howell faced this issue with his open source software Homebrew, and is hoping that he can set a different tone for web3 with his new project: tea.
The platform allows users of open source software and tools to automatically and indirectly sponsor the developers responsible for creating and maintaining them, and incentivizes the developers to maintain good software and keep it freely available. Users will also be able to purchase additional services like guaranteed support, and all projects will be stored on a decentralized database to ensure continuity of access - with rewards issued as tokens.
All in all, it’s a neat way of redressing the imbalances that developed with the original web and web2. Nearly 7,000 developers are signed up, even with the platform still under development; so it will be interesting to see the extent to which users engage from the other side once it’s fully launched.
