You're being downvoted because your idea runs counter to the nature of humanity.

We do not like, and eventually will not tolerate, people who do not contribute a certain amount to the tribe. Members of the tribe that could not, or would not, contribute we banished to exile to die in the wilderness.

This is why Communism in any form cannot and will not work. There has never been, and will never be, a perfectly equal distribution of work amongst the people in a tribe, a village, a town, a city, a state, a nation. You cannot distribute equal resources for unequal effort and expect cohesion.

My idea is about that, I think that every developer, when joins the project, must have an equal share of the whole profit of the company, just like the founders do. Otherwise it's not fair, that the product of their labor doesn't bring them any dividends.

But I agree that it's of course strange, for example, why would the builder of the house get the part of profits of the house after it's built? It's also a bit not fair
