Wait, we have a social class of programmers (who on average make well above the median income) that are unable to contribute to something on github? I would agree that there is a whole class of people unwilling to contribute anything, and they largely overlap with the programmers who don't do anything to sharpen their saw. Consequently they are also the programmers who will have a horrible time trying to find a job after they have been laid off from the company they have been at for the last 10 years because they didn't take the time to stay on top of what's happening in the technology world.
