You may decide that, for you, the glory outweighed the pain, but in effect you're helping decide the futures of people you'll never meet.

Abusive creeps like Alex St. John depend on being able to convince junior devs they're working on the next Fable, the next Bioshock, etc.

People feed themselves into the fire for dismal, forgotten things all the time believing it will be great. Don't make exploitation easier.

We have to develop a healthier way of talking about success and hard work. Yes, work hard on stuff you love! But understand exploitation.
