Who has time to build a $1M system and only potentially get paid for it? I know the basement Lisp hacker[1] probably thinks he could cobble it together in a weekend, but the reality is that these are huge systems. How could you get a team of people to build a system with a $1M budget without knowing if they'd ever get paid? How would the bounty be awarded? How would they know the winner produced software that is up to snuff? Would there be multiple parallel betas? Would this system encourage people to cut corners? Would the person choosing the winner be able to just give their buddy the prize and turn down everybody else? [1] at this very moment I'm in my basement, hacking on some Lisp |
