My problem with Bountysource is that most bounties are a flipping joke
compared to what someone would earn in even badly paid jobs in the
industry.

I mean, take a (small) hourly rate of maybe 30€.

“Getting rid of the Perl dependency”: Without true knowledge of the internals,
I’d estimate 100–1000 hours of work. That’s ~10k€–30k€. The bounty is 250€.
nixos-assimilate: aszlig has put in at least 50–100 hours of work. And I’m sure
aszlig takes more than 30€/hour for his day job. That’s ~5k€. The bounty is $50.


People need to get real. Software companies need to get real. If they need good
systems, the should start to invest. Now. Big time. At least 10% of their money.

My 2 cents.
