How would they do that? Who would pay the server costs?
Edit: Out of curiosity, is there anyone reading this comment that would be willing to pay for the infrastructure costs to keep Poly alive?
- bognition 6y agoNot to mention that its been built on top of the Google internal development stack and getting it working outside of that environment would require a substantial re-write.
- olau 6y agoSo you're saying they're getting bitten by vendor lock-in?
- dewey 6y agoHow is it vendor lock-in if the internal code base that was never built in a way to work in the outside world can't just be taken and dropped on Github?
- rakoo 6y agoWe are being bitten by vendor lock-in, once again
- monsieurbanana 6y agoNo? We're getting bitten by vendor lock in.
