As in applauding their work. Other codes will be infuriated and want to find radical ways to show off.
IMO by arousing in them emotions of anger, indignation and respect for personal responsibility. Anger/indignation can be great sources of motivation. "We are human being and we deserve freedom and to be treated with respect for gods sake!!". On this topic this book comes to mind: About personal responsibility it's more of a general need in society. We have a widespread culture of "it's not my fault, it's someone else" that has permeated every aspect of society. This is the crappy foundation and all other crappy thing follow from this

When I saw the Samurai devs go to prison for developing open source applications, I have personally become more radical.
"I feel the anger, but I would rather try to shift the focus towards positive energy by: 1. Ignoring complaining developers. 2. Encouraging non-developers to show appreciation for the developers' work through zaps and shares. 3. Repeatedly explaining to non-developers how to contribute, so that developers feel relatively more supported. 4. Enjoying the hyperbitcoinization journey, as it will last decades—which is perfectly fine. This might be a bit naive, but this is what I'm trying to do."

Why do you equate radicalization with negative energy? All revolutions are rooted in ideas that were viewed as radical at the time.
I honestly think the financial incentives aren’t great. It’s not obvious how to earn enough to justify the time spend. FOSS is great, but not everyone will be able to contribute unless there is a clear incentive. Maybe I’m naive, but that’s my gut.
My post wasn't meant to imply that radical change is bad, but rather to express a personal preference for how I want to engage with the transition right now. I see two different styles of engagement—sometimes expressed by the same people. There are those who channel their energy into fighting against the current system (which is a valid and often necessary radical stance), and there are those who focus on building the parallel society quietly. My choice to ignore complaining and focus on positive reinforcement for builders isn't a judgment against those who fight; it's just a strategy to protect my own energy and keep the momentum positive. I think we need both the critics and the builders to succeed.

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.
Hmm... I wonder what are of some of the attributes of a radicalized dev? In my thinking, anyone with a half of a brain would qualify and the rest are unreachable. My first qualifying question would be: Did you get the COVID vaccine and if so why? The only acceptable answers would be: 1. The risk of getting COVID was greater than the risk of the vaccine for me. 2. No.
🔴 Muslims follow all prophets and messengers, peace be upon them ⚠ God has said in the Quran: { They say, "Be Jews or Christians [so] you will be guided." Say, "Rather, [we follow] the religion of Abraham, inclining toward truth, and he was not of the polytheists."( 2: 135 ) Say, [O believers], "We have believed in Allah and what has been revealed to us and what has been revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the Descendants and what was given to Moses and Jesus and what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and we are Muslims [in submission] to Him." (2:136)}
