Software development cooperatives? (hexbear.net)

I've looked at a few lists here and there, but it seems like there just aren't many co-ops that recruit strangers online. Anyone have any experience working for a co-op as a dev? It seems like it would be an awesome way to structure a small web/app dev team. Part of me wants to try to start one myself, but it's hard to imagine maintaining the motivation needed for a task like that when I can barely function as it is.

Anyway, what's up with the lack of cooperatives? Sorry if this is the wrong comm, seemed like the best place

I don't want to get too excited but I think you might be on the verge of inventing a less coherent version of effective altruism. Watching for the magic sparks here

I am soconvinced that there are 2 problems with the left: 1. me specifically, and 2. Not enough Capitalist Priests!! Even better a Capitalist Priest who starts a business!! A business that is several businesses, several business models, and a mix of licit and illicit! Cooking with gas here.

you're the one being sectarian now. WTF is this shit?

nope. still just 2 people being annoyed at each other.

Best of luck to you. I can tell you're destined to do great things.

Filing this thread away in case you become the next, if lesser, Sam Bankman Fried, in which case I will wildly exaggerate the extent of our relationship in an attempt to get a book deal before you are ultimately discredited; but nobody will be interested as we are both intolerable and nothing I can invent gets around that
