Creating value is fundamental to the job but no one is going to give you money whether you create value or not.

You have to both create value and proactively take the cut of the profit you deserve.

Giving away code is no big deal. Code is a rapidly depreciating asset and everything you create you will create something better tomorrow.

You give people code to demonstrate what they have the opportunity to buy if they want to make money. If they are stupid they don't pay and you find smarter people who want to make money.
