I think it just needs further gamification and attachment to “activity logs” similar to GitHub tracks your contributions.
Having this attached to Hubzilla or Peergos activity streams would be super valuable in that it provides a way for you to build a profile of who you are and what you care about, why people can trust you or employ you and ultimately gives you an economical advantage similar to the existing software engineering field.
Don’t just gamify it, make those internet points provide real economical incentive!
