It's not fair that software developers never get a chance to lay back and enjoy the long term payoffs of the fruits of their labor, it's like the slaves who toil endlessly to plant the crops then the moment the time of payback comes, they only get a small portion, and in order to survive the slaves must find other work asap or else they will starve.<p>It takes us massive amounts of effort to build something that makes money, and the moment we finish it, we are fired and other people sit back and enjoy the long term profits. Something has to be done about this.<p>Software I wrote many years ago is generating massive profits for OTHER PEOPLE. Yet here I am not seeing a cent of that.
We still only get paid a "salary" because that is the going wage, regardless of if our software earns 10 million dollars. ITS NOT FAIR I SAY.
