Why do some developers basically work for free in open source projects?

no, you scam people instead, like you scammed me just now. I have screenshots as proof. Any moderators on this site or this still the wild west?
In what did he scammed you he is not allowed even to sell in here
 
Might be better to have this settled outside this thread. Feel free to open a case the mods here are very helpful.
Yeah I know. I just. Saw op complaining and commented. I am not scammed by anyone
 
Some open source projects offer jobs too and money too.

Apart from that it's a a great flex if you have worked on the software that your company where you work is using. I mean like if they are using any open source tool and you tell them in that software you fixed something for free it really shows companies that you are interested in programming rather than just money.

Also, the people who are always active on GitHub are not your daily programmers.

Where can i open a case? Do you know which mod I could contact?

It was for a jarvee version. Sent me a link with a file that doesnt work and then blocked me and changed his username. even put "bhw" in his username the fool. luckily i took screenshots
 
Hm i just copied it. It is the link at the bottom of the forum that says support. After that there should be a way to open a support ticket.
 
This is hardcore field. That's why. :D

Same as doctors who can't just work. They have to do a lot more than that to be good...
 
knowledge and looks good in your portafolio, free projects usually are good and huge that solve big problems that big companies never do and they just ignore and while working you have support of other developers and they can help you to learn more so is always a win win.
 
It could be from passion to many other inside things...
 
As a programmer, you build tons of software for your own usage. Then, instead of working on it on your own, you share it for others. Another programmer uses it, finds a problem and solves it. So, its kind of part of your daily workflow. And everyone benefits from it instead of everyone building same thing from scratch

So, its callobration work and really fun. I blieve this should grow in other parts of our life as society.
 
some just do it because they have time and are passionate about the idea behind the project
 
I would do it to solve issues that pop up during. Development using that l8brary
 
First of all I`m doing this for my porfolio, second thing - I like to implement my own ideas, and there is no must to be payed for this, I`m making it for myself
