why volunteer for a random unknown company when a developer can volunteer for reputable open source projects?

FWIW:

Rights to the National Minimum Wage

An intern is entitled to the National Minimum Wage if they count as a worker.

Employers cannot avoid paying the National Minimum Wage if it’s due by:

saying or stating that it does not apply
making a written agreement saying someone is not a worker or that they’re a volunteer

Promise of future work

An intern is classed as a worker and is due the National Minimum Wage if they’re promised a contract of future work.

This:

meaning that candidates will move to a paid employment after our market entry.

Is a promised contract of future work, meaning you have to pay your "volunteers" minimum wage at least

[final shale]

because a reputable open source project generally has no plans to commercialize

tbh i think yall should just keep your opinions to yourself or at least put it in #off-topic . the british culture of snitching on your neighbors shining through strong.

that's sort of irrelevant as someone volunteering.

"Hey, I got an idea for an app I just need someone to build it, I promise once it makes us rich you won't regret it"

I have heard this from people that sit next to me on a bus, this is no different.

you do know that the right way of promising a future at a product that will commercialize is by offering equity

[final shale]

and now and again that person sitting on the bus will end up making twitplay, youcord, or bookify or something else

[final shale]

and pre money non controlling equity means nothing

[grave bough]

yeah exactly, I guess I mean shares, dunno 🤪

[final shale]

same thing

whatever is called when the person gets partial ownership of the company
