Do you think there is nothing that could be learnt from it ? In what detail have you looked at the Minix source code to conclude that it is a waste of time to contribute to that ? There are still people who contribute to proejcts from 70's and 80's, just for fun. Likewise, this is done for fun as well. If you don't like Minix, leave it at that.

Minix is long dead. Nobody uses it.It was a college experiment. Do some hacking elsewhere. Don't waste time beating dead horse and find out uncompetitive areas like some companies do. They want to focus on African markets, South America and colleges. I now know why. They are afraid of competing with the best talent.

We here are finding lot of problems even getting a guy who has heard about Ruby programming. When I say to engineers I know Rails, they look at me with suspision.

Hi vakilsearch.com is looking for a Ruby on Rails Rockstar to head its technology team to build the backbone of India's largest online legal services company (like legalzoom / rocketlawyer of the US). The challenge is to build and package the product in a way that makes buying a professional service - as simple as - buying a phone on flipkart. If that sounds exciting and want to discuss the technology challenges that need to be solved, please email me at hameed at vakilsearch dot com with a brief summary of your experience and contact details. If you'd like to have a quick chat over the phone, 76677 13366 is the number to reach us. The chosen rockstar would be working closely with the core team at vakilsearch.com's Chennai headquarters.
