Would you consider a chef who buys produce from the market as opposed to buying a farm and growing it on their own "stupid and lazy"?

- JohnJamesRambo 4y agoIt’s more like being a chef and paying another company to cut up your ingredients for you and cook them. Companies these days just want to specialize in making cool menu designs and marketing and waiting on the three star Michelin review to roll in somehow.
- teh64 4y agoThat is not the same analogy, because a chef's job is to make food, but say a trucking companies job is not to create GPS and mapping software, or some HR tool which tracks sick days etc... The difference is what the core competency of the company is.
- simiones 4y ago> It’s more like being a chef and paying another company to cut up your ingredients for you and cook them. That would be like a Hypervisor company paying VMWare to re-distribute ESXi or something. But a farm company buying VMWare ESXi to run its IT infra instead of using, say, CentOS is exactly like a chef sourcing ingredients instead of growing them herself.
