ScoutGame: The Builder Behind the Dev Card
AI summary of the linked articleScout Game is a fantasy-sports-style league for open source developers, and this profile of its top preseason builder, Gabe (Gabriel Temtsen, @gabedev.eth), presents his rise as a model of consistent, deliberate open source work. The article says Gabe has made over 2,077 contributions since 2019, won hackathons, and built projects across StarkNet, Avalanche and Celo. It also describes his personal project Memora-AI, an AI meant to create a virtual version of a person from their conversations, which he paused due to its complexity. Scout Game's preseason closes on April 21st. |

1 comment  Skimmed through this and also went on Github to investigate and sorry but isn't this all just super suss activity and shit? On Google when I check Scoutgame: "Jump into the Scout Game and find out who is building cool, open-source stuff." Honestly I kinda hate it (Chris I know you're here). You know we (OSS builders) already get so fucked by everyone who's building the casino. Even the dev tools that enable people to build on Ethereum get a tiny amount of the value that the people who use these tools to extract make. Then now also they're turning off the public goods funding faucets for open source devs too. And then there's also a game engineered on our brand of being open source devs that makes it seem like these people are doing the same thing as us. It really makes me feel like I'm being badly ripped off (which I probably also Am). To me honest, all of this behavior is just going to lead us to overthink our altruistic behaviors. Maybe I won't spend my unpaid work time to contribute to open source. Maybe I will do less altruistic actions in the future because I need to protect myself, etc. |
