If even a fraction of users of some of these libraries could be bothered to kick $5 a month to at least the top few packages they use, we wouldn't have this problem. $4000 a year is kind of nuts, but $60 is pretty reasonable.
I didn't sell out, I bought in.
no doubt, no doubt
Heya Nick 🙂Seeing the title of this video makes me wonder if and when WordPress will no longer be open source. Having worked in the tech field as long as I have, nothing surprises me anymore.
Are the other contributors to the packages over the years also getting a cut of the new commercialisation? If not, that's not only morally wrong (to commercialise a product on the backs of unpaid oss developers) but surely there would be grounds for legal recourse for them?
they should sell their expertise rather than expecting donation
Imo. Don't go open source all the way. Its not sustainable. Everyone should contribute to open source to build up their portfollio. And land a job that earns him money. Oh wow you made that library i use it all the time and boom. You got a job.
Duh. When you're broke, you're broke.
Nopes. Hell NO. Starting OSS and then going into paid tiers, is not just a sell-out, its the WORST sell-out one can have. Build on contributions of the community, get LOTS of help in testing, and then on the back of it you decide to make a HUGE profit - with what is an already established market, or so Jimmy thinks. in his case, he should be ashamed, having made claims, like (and I misquote I am sure), "Mediatr will stay open source/free print Tshirts" . Stuff like, I spend lots of my time, can't maintain it, fine, do a community call and have someone pick-it up where you left. Yes I remember his reactions when Redis did the same shitty move. Enshittification all the way. Jimmy, I am telling you right now, you won't see a dime from me. As usual there are alternatives. Mr Bogart NOT COOL. 👎😤
what's your expectation as someone who's being windows-centric with that dotnet development? since when were windows conductive to any open source libertarian principles or anything like that...who even wants to develop for windows :D rofl i dunno why yt suggests me this crap
