It seems to me this is kind of how Linus Torvalds got his job. I could be wrong there, though.

HN comment:

"I've known many more or less unemployable people who started contributing to significant open source projects, and based on that got hired to well paid positions."

I see, thanks for your input.

I would like to know for sure if it is good investment to contribute to the companies that I like :)
