Yeah, the "be an open source coder to get a job" really doesn't scale. It already feels like I'm in a maze when I look for a tool to solve a certain problem, and have to wade through a bunch of projects that it takes a while to evaluate. The search costs are huge.

You probably aren't making the world any better by adding yet another open source project to it. If we want people to do this to get jobs, we are encouraging them to help drown us.
