Comment on: Newbie... Need motivation.. something "real" to sink my teeth into.
You should check out Code Valley. Completely new development system that integrates the build system with the compiler. (It's 'compiler nodes' the whole way down, from capturing application-level requirements right down to opcode generation. And every node is created and owned by a developer... and every node receives a micro-payment every time they contribute to a build.)

Comment on: Quit abstracting everything into run-time
We tried to keep the Medium article short. Have you had a chance to try out the tech? (You can build some of the programs listed below, direct from your browser.)
Our site also has much more substance than a Medium article, if you get a chance to check it out.
Comment on: Quit abstracting everything into run-time
If you're curious about the tech mentioned in the article and would like to take it for a spin, I've linked to some template expressions below. Each expression already sets up the contracting of certain Agents within the network. Just open the one you want and hit 'Build.' (To view the pseudo-code associated with each expression, just click on 'Notes.')
Build a program that runs on a Linux OS (x86 64-bit architecture) (i.e. contract Agents that compile requirements to binary code):
Build a program that runs in a browser (i.e. contract Agents that compile requirements to js):
You can also take a more in-depth (interactive) tour of emergent coding here.
For Code Valley? You don't actually become a coder for them... each dev who builds and deploys Agents to the network independently owns those Agents. Code Valley have no claim to them... they're simply the team that began the project.
The community is still small, but growing. We (the CV team and other devs who have joined the community) are currently in the middle of populating layer two (of four) with Agents. You can see the four layers, and all currently active Agents in the Valley here. Some classifications are still empty (they represent demand without supply), some are filled with a single Agent, and others already have multiple competing Agents published underneath them.
If you do have any more questions, please don't hesitate to shoot them my way. I would be happy to answer :).
