      the priorities of somebody that cares about the quality of their tools are not the priorities of someone that shows up to get their paycheck and do the bare minimum

      All you're telling me is that you never fix anything upstream. That's no virtue.

      Most people won't get paid to fix things upstream and don't have time to do it for free. And based on my observation, most programmers aren't even in a position to fix things upstream, even opportunistically during part of their working day.

      All the programmers I've worked with used apache, gcc, and eclipse to build closed-source apps. There's no "upstream" for their apps. And if they find a bug in apache, gcc, or eclipse they're not going have the expertise to fix it, because they work *with* them, not *on* them.

      I suspect the recent trend of "forget your resume, just show me your GitHub account" is great for kids trying to crack their way into Silicon Valley startups for the last three years, and horrible for everyone who's done bread-and-butter corporate work for the last three decades.

      You are seriously misconstruing how GitHub profiles are used and people with OSS activity sufficient to get themselves hired anywhere are exceedingly rare. Companies still mostly rely on resumes, interviews, reputation.

      You are misunderstanding my point/angle, what I'm advocating for, to exorcise your professional insecurities.

      Glad to hear that, sorry for the misunderstanding, and it's not my insecurities at stake (it doesn't affect my field, I'm just a bystander here).

      Part of my point is that programmers have to fix or improve the libraries and tools they use. Regularly. If you don't you aren't going very deep with much of anything. Concordantly, why aren't those changes to the OSS projects you benefit from getting upstreamed?

          I guess you could monkeypatch your libraries at runtime instead of improving them if you're a lazy shitbag who doesn't care about maintainable projects.
