This is an anecdote, so take it for what it's worth: A friend of mine
is a developer supreme: He thoroughly understands algorithms, data
structures and protocols at a deep level. He made a free software smart
phone app and maintained it for his users. A couple years later
WhatsApp noticed it, noticed him, invited him to California, hired him,
and when Facebook bought WhatsApp he got a bonus at least if not more
than sufficient for him to buy a Tesla.
