How do we radicalize more devs? #asknostr
First, realize that you don't radicalize people, they radicalize themselves.
Ironically, the most practical way to encourage that is probably to get them working on freedom tech projects!
Do it early, while they're idealistic. Before they've been seduced by the salaries and perks big tech can offer. Before they're on the hedonic treadmill. Before they have mortgages and families and responsibilities.
Pay them, but don't pretend you can compete with big tech. Any attempt to do that is likely to attract people for the wrong reasons.
Instead, offer them interesting things to work on. Offer to teach them on the job. Offer them the opportunity to work with people they can learn from and respect.
