Hi, thank you for your constructive response, I agree with what you are saying. Due to the length of my experience it's going to be hard to give my beliefs any sort of foundation to an experienced programmer. With this in mind I also wrote the article to hear and learn from other people's constructive views. I believe there is no shame in being wrong, because to me that is the only way one will ever learn and improve. I also try to be aware of trying not to fall into the bias trap, so I try to use the null hypothesis when it comes to choosing what to follow or learn. But most importantly I want to learn a subject in which I take a real interest and passion. Then branch out from there. Like I mentioned before, the primary goal for my article is to inspire people to experiment and try things that might not be what the mass agree with and actually give it a go and taking it further than checking if the repo has enough stars. Plenty of companies pay for developers to experiment and it would be impossible for all companies to afford this. At the same time there are plenty of chip100 companies that don't have any OSS projects yet they are clearly reaping the benefits. That comment is me being optimistic and potentially not a realist due to the harsh nature of business. Thank you again for the response. :)
