<p>This is actually one creative idea, kudos.
I encourage you to reach out to OP as he was asking for discussion in case he didn't see this comment. 
This is the only newer out of the box idea I saw in this thread</p>

<p>> There are already so many ways (and reasons) not to do free or open source software. People who find them convincing are using them.<p>To be honest, I don't think the space between GPL/MIT and commercial closed source is explored enough. I'm aware there's a few examples of things in between, but they are not common knowledge and they don't satisfy everyone. It is not a space that is easy to search online for established wisdom and comparisons in.</p>

<p>> Besides, why would "bad guys" be deterred by a license, anyway?<p>I imagine because we're talking about a subcategory of "bad guys" who still like to stay within the confines of the law (supposedly at least).</p>

<p>So in that case, would someone willing to publish LLM-speak under their name be similarly adopting that "voice".<p>Does that entail that LLMs are not in fact erasing our societal voices, only making it easier to adopt bland-corporate en-mass?</p>

  - Increasing testing coverage to help with maintainability and robustness
  - Cleaning up prototype code to prepare for production or publishing as a package
  - Contribute to open source dependencies
</code></pre>
But I'd also be willing to hop on a codebase that's anywhere from an Elixir microservice to C firmware.<p>I'm a swift learner, if you get me excited about your product/project, I'm confident I can pick up whatever technologies you use quickly.</p>

<p>SEEKING WORK | Ontario, Canada | Remote
I'm an experienced Julia developer with a enthusiasm for solving performance and optimization challenges.<p>I can help if you're looking for Julia expertise to help with any of the following:<p><pre><code>  - Investigating long compilation or start-up times
  - Profiling and identifying performance bottlenecks
  - Low-level performance optimization for your simulation code
  - Assessing different parallelization or threading strategies
  - Increasing testing coverage to help with maintainability and robustness
  - Cleaning up prototype code to prepare for production or publishing as a package
  - Contribute to a dependency upstream to ease a pain point in your use case</code></pre>
I might also be able to help if you are:
  - Rewriting or redesigning from R/MATLAB to Julia/Python/Rust.
  - Having performance problems with your Python, Rust, MATLAB, or C code.
  - Want to investigate if leveraging GPU compute (CUDA) could be useful for your computations.
I've worked across a wide range of the Julia ecosystem, from high-level tasks such as extracting data from non-compliant csv, and writing custom Plots.jl recipes, to low-level work such as extending the mul! matrix multiplication interface with LAPACK, and investigating type-instabilities and inference problems using SnoopCompile and Cthulhu.
Think I might be able to help? Shoot me an email and let's find out.<p>Email: omar02295+hn@gmail.ca</p>
