Join or found a queer/extremist/worker owned/open source commune, and fight for anti-capitalist revolution. There are lots of codes that we need to destroy corporations and states. And they won't write themselves!

Don't expect states and companies to pay you to build the codes that will disempower them - build those in groups working to create new forms of worker owned power.

Don't expect to earn a lot. And accept the risk of ending up in political prison if a powerful regime criminalizes your contributions.

Have fun!

Interesting. Can you give a couple examples?

Cybernetic weapons and encryption technology

Open source Intelligence and counterintelligence technology

Reverse engineering software

Open source alternatives to any profitable software or service

Software that automatically sues and harasses org who violate open source licenses

Propaganda software that misinforms and harasses capitalists and nationalists

Automation software for mutual aid organizations

Production software for zero cost open source communes - organizations that do free knowledge work that currently costs money - for example a virtual lawyer that represents you for free if you get in trouble for doing any of the rest of this stuff

Some of these solutions may be illegal, but I'm not endorsing illegal work. I am only pointing out these codes, if written, can help reduce the need for and efficacy of states and capital organizations, and empower revolutionary groups wishing to supplant these forms of power.
