I'm a software engineer who likes the layer under the product: the APIs, caches and search systems that make things fast.
How karma works. Everyone starts with 5. You get +1 each time another member upvotes one of your posts or comments (your own upvotes don't count), and lose it if they take the upvote back. Post what you're building, answer questions and help other members to earn more.
