Pretty much every "I built a thing" post is met with the same response. MS isnt special.
I think pretty much every open source project that wants to be taken seriously needs to compare itself with its competitors.
- assttoasstmgr 5y agoFrom what I can tell they built a tool for themselves to use internally, and open-sourced it. I don't think they were looking for approval or to be taken seriously. Similarly, Igor built nginx to solve a particular problem, and I think it was a few years before it went open-source. I can't imagine most OSS developers have delusions of grandeur.
- throwuxiytayq 5y agoGiven that pretty much all of the recent Microsoft's open-source projects under the .NET umbrella, including ASP.NET Core, have been a resounding success in terms of communiry adoption, I don't think they're very shy about comparisons. I expect some of the comments under this post to age very badly.
