How the term 'open source' was coined 20 years ago
- mojomark 9y agoMore on the "Open Source" origin story here: https://m.harpercollins.com/9780062565716/wtf https://m.harpercollins.com/9780062565716/wtf However, both of these pieces in which the authors clammer to claim a piece of ownership by writting first person accounts of their own achievements in the field, seemingly to cement their place in the history books (even if rightfully attributed), induces an unpleasant and unshakable taste of narcissism. It's like they waited their entire lives for someone to call them a genius and when nobody did, they said "OK, well I'll just go on the record and let everybody know I'm a genius because my genius was obviously overlooked." Ugh.
