This is about the OP saying "I tried programming but I gave up" post that is clearly not asking for help, but some along the lines of "i didn't like movie X" , you make them like the movie.
Also not everyone can make a living writing FOSS projects. Especially if you are not in the first world.

People usually abandon learning programming as the learning curve to some programming languages is too steep for them to climb.. Usually if they get help from a developer who knows the language then they can learn within hours more than they ever did alone.
So such encouragements are viewed as ethical in computer science if you are willing to invest the time to teach them.

Lol who told you that? People living in a 3rd world country getting hired to work on a FLOSS projects is very common from my experience.. Mostly because they are qualified to do the job and are more economical to hire.
@FrailLeaf @LordMordred @bwk to follow-up like last time i checked in finland they let criminals convicted of murder to work on open-source projects and there are pedophiles and nazis contributing to Linux development etc..
