Very well said.
Somehow the incentives seem backwards. You will be paid more if you find more work for yourself. If you coordinate with others well and you avoid duplicate work and you build tools and processes that are a part of a common community-wide development, ultimately everyone will have less work, meaning less funds from the DHF. Does this seem to be the case?
