The same applies to the developer of the software you are trying to see if it solves your problem. The rest of your conclusion relies on your assumption that your time is more precious than the time of the developers that wrote the software.
- pseudalopex 6y agoIt only relies on users outnumbering developers.
- fefe23 6y agoI hope you realize the posting was about how the same factual basis and assumptions can be used to support the opposite conclusion, not about me or my personal standpoint and the developer. That said: Actually, if you think about it: It is. Both to me AND to the developer. If the developer treats my time as precious, and enables me to skip his software altogether or to use it without having issues, then I will waste zero of his time. I will also waste less of my own time, but that is probably less important from their perspective. Since there is one of them and hundreds or more of me, this pays dividends very quickly for them.
- badsectoracula 6y agoThe important difference is that the developer actually put effort in making the program you are talking about, so them not wanting to waste their time in supporting you is not equal to you feeling entitled to their time. Your only effort in the entire discussion would be to decide if you want or not to take advantage of the program to solve your problem, which is certainly less than the effort the developer put to create the program (otherwise you'd just be making the program yourself).
