I see your point, and don’t entirely disagree, but I am skeptical. If EPIC became open source you’d now need more tech staff to maintain your installations too, as the maintenance burden would creep ever larger, and at some point a business decision would be made to use closed source SAAS again anyway.
- arjvik 5y agoPlease explain how open sourcing code causes increased maintenance burden?
- BirAdam 5y agoThis is observed behavior. The churn in the rest of the ecosystem forces everything to be in a state of constant releases, patches, and upgrades. The alternative is that you depend on outdated code and then must maintain it yourself or just freeze your system forever… which is very much worse unless you’re talking about something non-networked.
