Readit NewsI prefer managers who pay me, rather than thank me.
No Bucks, No Buck Rodgers.
You can mention your optimization in every salary discussion etc.
It can only explain things inside it's belief system.
You’ll just end up broke and without a job.
I want a society were no one needs to work and we only reach it when the amount of people we need is getting so much less that our society needs to rethink this "work".
Without a job? My work ethic is to work in a way that I'm not needed.
And still I'm needed but instead of doing the same old shit everyday I can innovate because I don't need to fix old shitty written stuff.
Let's say he gives away his tool and all of a sudden he is the guy who has to work on it when other people have problems. Now his coworkers have more time, he has less, and he is the scapegoat for when things go wrong. Not only that but since it is not a real product of the organization, no one will recognize the time he works on it so he will have to work over time to meet his other goals.
Now if someone wants to ask for a copy of what I use, sure but they own their copy and I own mine.
This helps other people to grow.
Personally, I wouldn't want to work at a company that apparently is not incentivizing creativity. I'd rather work somewhere where I knew if I did something like this I'd get more money or career progression or something, not just more work to do. But I certainly don't blame the employee for this
I prefer people who genuinely like to improve our whole environment than not.
Sharing and caring!
If OP really cared about maximizing everyone's productivity of course they would share the tool. But if I'm working at a large enterprise and increasing productivity may only lead to laying people off I have exactly zero motivation to share something like this.
It's our fucking job to optimize the world around us.
How do you think can we, as a society, advance while doing bullshit jobs?
Make me obsolete!
Latest example: at my current workplace we have some crappy custom compilers for our platform.... I've rebuilt them in a way that I like (and using C# instead of Java), that enables me to use it in a small visual studio code plugin that enables me with real time error messages as I code against our platform, so basically constantly compiling in the background as the file changes. It's great. Can it improve the lives of the 50 or so other devs working on the same platform? For sure (it saves a ton of time and frustration). Will I tell them about it or release it onto our private git repo's and make it part of our platform/build chains? Nope.
I can give you 20 good reason why I won't do it but really don't want to get into it. If they want it, they ask for it & while they are at it, they can pay me a cool sum of money for it. Until then, it is my own private competitive advantage that allows me to work 2 hours per day instead of 8. Not embellishing.
Holy shit.
I would not want you and your philosophy around me at all.
I double checked on Wiki. There are two founders -- husband and wife. While both have Turkish heritage, only one is a Turkish immigrant. To be fair, I agree with the overall sentiment of your comment!
Husband: Uğur Şahin was born in Turkey, and immigrated to Germany at age 4
Wife: Özlem Türeci was born in Germany. Her parents immigrated to Germany from Turkey.

However, it's a mistake to believe the rich and powerful will allow such a society to exist since they'd be powerless in it. They will impose artificial scarcity on it in order to maintain the existence of capitalism and their fortunes. Just look at how copyright is ruining free computing and the free internet.
