I'm a sophomore CS/Math major 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 with a bunch of pajeets, 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?

software is completely full of midwit faggots and there's no good way to enjoy working in industry any more, at least here in the west.

I have no idea, but if you figure it out, let us know.

generally no, unless a big company hires you to work on it
just make your own 1-man company, making 1 or a small handful of apps that scratch a personal itch, while also being of value for others

plenty of people making a living doing that

Making FOSS? Wouldn't I have to rely on donations?
>>
>>100164990
1. Enlist in reserves or NG as an IT goon.
2. Finish bachelor's in CS/Math.
3. Go to OCS, get commissioned in Cyber Force.
4. Do 4 years, retire commission.
5. Work for NSA/CIA/DIA/etc for 12 years.
6. Retire with full pension.
>>
>>100168994
no, making commercial closed source applications
OP thinks the only alternative to corporate misery is FOSS and that's not only false it's not even realistic
>>
>>100169464
Why would I want to make nonfree software? FOSS is simply better, I don't want to provide less value to the world. Stallman is right
>>
>>100169612
>Why would I want to make nonfree software?
to make money with programming skills, independently of a boring corporate job
if you know how to make a living from FOSS, more power to you
it's just that it's rare and difficult
>>
>>100169686
If I don't put my principles first I'm no better than the corporations

make your program nonfree first.
take it seriously. when you've amassed a large enough userbase that it gets hard to manage, set up a donation system and open source it.
