I think it’s likely we will see big platforms (newspapers etc) want to federate their content directly using activitypub. It sounds like a messy task, but if you can specialize in offering clutter-free activitypub support for existing platforms I’m sure there’s money to be made.
I mean software development as a whole, probably. Just knowing how to code in a somewhat larger org can open up job opportunities later on.
Fediverse specific…probably not. My cynical side thinks that most lose money/spend much more than we take in from the fediverse. Most projects are just passion projects with very little budget. But dont believe me, try it out! I want to be wrong on this.
I wonder, if I specialize in fediverse development, would that help me get a job? Is there work in the fediverse?
