Well, if one person spent a month on this, they’d be making about $10/hr.

Makes StarBucks barista pay look good…

Of course, if they can churn this out closer to 2 days, maybe there is something there.

Such a talented person would probably prefer a more certain and higher income.



I don't think this argument is accurate. There are other reasons to do this work even for free such as self-promotion, community-building, hobby, etc.

I think the real blockers are the legal implications of reverse engineering.


For a lot of people in the world $10/hr is a fantastic wage. And you get to work at your own pace, probably from home.


And for a lot of people it is fantastic to have one slice of bread per day. What is your point?
