The interesting thing about this project is how the incentives align. The premise requires the view that donating to charity is a bad thing. Or conversely, writing build failing code is a good thing. Otherwise --if donating and buildable code are good -- there is no self reinforcing cycle. The system architecture is closed...a finite pie if you will. Successful builds and charitable donations have a reciprocal relationship. An increase in one comes at the expense of the other. A win-win system architecture would have a positive correlation between charitable donations and successful builds. The charities and the developer would both benefit or suffer together. If both successful builds and charitable donations are good, the system architecture encourages the Shirky Principle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clay_Shirky#Shirky_principle
