I checked French & Italian and the data source is rather bad : Bonny ? Blondene ?

I am always shocked by the general lack of awareness people have about world intricacies.
Social welfare, fiscality and related issue in modern developped countries is one of the most complex systems I know of. I am 100% serious. It's a huge mess of rules, exceptions, directives, conflicting aspirations, unforceable & not unforceable || not unforced rules, outdated scheme, 0,1% population targeting welfare, federal, state, regional, city size rules and much more.
It crosses to healthcare, food, housing, education and more.
This whole mess was built bit by bit, step by step, over decades.
Thinking "we could send everyone a check" is right down heresy to anyone having truly worked aroung these fields.
* Else the check amount is the same for everyone and good luck to 4 kids families in high rent area
* Else the check is calculated depending on all the above factors and this system will never roll out (check Obamacare implementation issues)
Most studies does not account for what people dislike in immigration : fracturing social contract and communities shattering. Frictions in the salad bowl are poorly translated to economic figures but folks live it everyday.
So look carefully at what each study says and its perimeter.
One should curb down its sureness of that matter.
He implies nothing, he states that sponsor definition covers the OP use case. Having more than one word to describe the same thing is not surprising.
You imply that your definition of sponsor exclude OP use case and there is mislabeling.
The interesting point is the revenue issue in open-source business. This guy solved it for him and present for all how he did it, with no lies and no hypocrisy.
That someone got hung up on a correct word usage shed an interesting light on where this disconnect between open source dev payment and money really lies.

The Joel Test
Do you use source control?
Can you make a build in one step?
Do you make daily builds?
Do you have a bug database?
Do you fix bugs before writing new code?
Do you have an up-to-date schedule?
Do you have a spec?
Do programmers have quiet working conditions?
Do you use the best tools money can buy?
Do you have testers?
Do new candidates write code during their interview?
Do you do hallway usability testing?There is renewed interest.
The real point that privacy advocates REFUSE to talk about is that FREE service wins over 99% market share over PAID service. So people does not want to pay for Facebook (greed) and Facebook does not want to make people pay (market share first in Silicon Valley mindset).
Well money for its thousand engineers has to be found ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Now that the actors have collectively chosen the combo free services in exchange for private data, a small minority wants free service in exchange of nothing. How does it work, Freemium, government subsidies ?
* aggregate or wrap around all kinds of communication format (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email#Message_format) and API (twitter). then provide a SPA to manage the aggregate
* cleverly encapsulate existing technologies and add a skin up for a unified experience
Business: the pricing (compared to slack for example) looks high. Any context: is FrontApp replacing several other paid services for your customers, or is your targeted customers used to such pricing (few accounts, high hourly paid employee) ?
Having had renovated my 1970s flat, I can confirm it's not a productive industry and I doubt residential sector will suddenly get very productive for the reason you gave : small custom tasks
When I look at data I find that transport is "20% of CO2 emission" (https://ourworldindata.org/co2-and-other-greenhouse-gas-emis...) but shipping is "2.2% of the global human-made emissions in 2012" (form wikipedia http://www.imo.org/en/OurWork/Environment/PollutionPreventio...)
What does it means ? Well, shipping uses dirty fuel and is very polluting but that's also a scapegoat for individual consumerist culpability.
Games development are limitless in scope and technical complexity and very passion driven. So, a developer could spend countless hours each night improving his game.
Next day, all the team has is a tired developer, drinking coffee and unable to code straight or analyse issues without missing subtleties.
Opening a wordpress for your mom and her gardening hobby is a significantly less time consuming task.
Low rank universities train students to be button pushers in a world of increasingly automated systems. Because that's also what the market needs : people to keep the systems running and run applications updates.
The good thing ? Developing is one of the fairest trade : if you are good, you will manage to find good job and decent money without much struggle.
What we have to read these days -_-
Maybe because investors throw money to many stupid things.
("we never know" "you miss 100% of the shots you don't take").
The said refactoring was probably not a huge task since he is reporting it done. Larger tasks are most often planned and monitored.
Splitting some class and decoupling some resources + adding the testing framework and implementing a first batch of tests. Of course it might have introduced few regressions.
But
> has potentially some known issues
Read again that. Exactly, none knows how many bugs there are, only how many were found so far. Bug tracking is often lacking, behind schedule, wont fix, etc.
On the contrary modern code analyse tools are frightening good at spotting untested conditions every where (sonarcube comes to my mind). Much better and much reliable than human developer and human tester. Sonarcube does not care if the case can not happen because user interface does not allow the input. The bug is here, and the bug is spotted.
The more experienced person is plain wrong : more tests is better. It's not panacea yet, but it's better.
It's actually pretty fast actually. 200 hours is nothing.
What really happens is that grown up don't invest the required hours because their days are already filled to the brink.
200 hours would be 1 hour drink 4 time a week during a whole year. Once you word it that way, for sure, you got a friendship running !
Or as someone said below being in deep shit. First, while in deep shit, you spend many consecutive hours with your partner(s) adding toward the 200 hours theoretical threshold. Second, helping each others is a very fundamental dynamic in friendship, I suspect it's happening at reverse here : rather than becoming friends, thus helping each other, people who starts by helping each other then are friends (monkey brain power).
So maybe you should advice people wanting to make friends to join charities and other helping works : several time a week, selfless environment.
