    That’s true, but that’s also just the general populous, who weren’t ever contributing to open source anyways.
    I don’t think the quality of coders (professional or hobby) has really declined that much.

      oh it definitely has. I’ve been in the industry since last century, the actual poke everything, do this for fun, invest yourself, wild jockey type…well we’re a dying breed.

        I don’t see a reduced number of CS students that enjoy poking around. I see an increase in the number of students that are there only for the good salary. Making the poking type into a smaller percentage.
