Yes, Free and Open Source software can sometimes be difficult to build and set up. And even that's better than the software not existing at all.
The tweet misses the point. The choice is not between "hacky, janky free software" and "well-made, professional free software". It's between "hacky, janky free software" and "paid software".
Don't like FOSS? Pay.
- number6 6y agoDid you ever experience hacky, janky paid software? No Problem - you can rent a consultant to help you along the way! Need a feature? Also no problem - here is that other consultant! Want to be a consultant for our software yourself? Here is our licensed course!
- StavrosK 6y agoThere's no money problem that can't be made worse with more money!
- MaxBarraclough 6y ago> Need a feature? Also no problem - here is that other consultant! That doesn't sound right. If you need a feature to be added to a typical proprietary software product, and you aren't a billion dollar company, you're pretty much out of luck. With Free and Open Source software, you have a good chance at being able to pay to have the feature developed, perhaps even in-house.
