tbh, I truly think that GAFAMs are trying to be the only entities to control the "fundamentals" of computers science. This includes : - locking systems to stop people trying to understand how it all works - providing and actively promoting high level tooling and platforms to allow other business to do their jobs without needing to understand how a computer works. - hiring at any cost any engineer with the technical capacities to create real alternative technology (and to profit from his knowledge is just a good side effect of removing its free time) I know few companies (maybe zero ?) that have not any critical dependency on a GAFAM product, be it a framework, a platform, libraries, tools ... I'm truly fascinated (and worried) at how you can successfully run a software company with programmers who don't even understand (or remember, because, for most, we were taught) how a computer actually works. And by no means I'm criticizing those people, I'm totally in this group. It amazes me that some of my best productive coworkers never tried once in their life or have the curiosity to install some Linux distro. I'm not talking about loving it and keeping it, but just to have the curiosity.
