Keynote: Smart Incentivization
summary
Framework defines incentives as hook reason reward with measurable triggers like actions and validated actions (for example merged pull requests vs raw PRs). Two incentive types appear: submarine and stated incentives — timed surprise gifts versus explicit stamp‑card rules. Examples include HackerOne scoring (valid report = 7 points, bad = −7) and the claim that habit forms in 66 days. Emphasis is on tracking quality not just quantity, designing shared value, and preferring intrinsic recognition over costly swag.
