I'm aware of them actually, thanks for the pointer. They indeed would be the main competitors in the market as of today! They're pretty much doing what BountyQuest did back in the early 2000s.

The difference between what I proposed and AOP is that it'd be targeted more towards the masses than domain experts and it'd have a game-like wrapper with leader-boards and other gamification-style incentives.

The truth of the matter is that no amount of pizza, videogames, ball pits and monitors is going to make me want to write CRUD interfaces for your boring IT management solution cloud platform thing..

Any decent hacker can get any of those jobs at a minute's notice. Instead convince me that what I'll do will matter, that my work will have significant impact on the company's future, that I will get to choose the direction of many decisions in the company from the minute I join. Convince me that I'll be surrounded by people from whom I'll be learning on daily basis, who deeply care about their work and becoming better as a team.

Any jobs like that out there? Very very few. Also they will not be available through job posts, you'll need to know people for those spots.
