Blender is an amazing example if what happens when you don't waste your money.
This is the opposite to for e.g Mozilla which is very corporate, abandons projects (FirefoxOS, Servo, Pathfinder, etc.), funds completely unrelated projects, fire their engineering team to increase the boss salary and hire even more manager coming from Big Tech or elsewhere who never worked on (or cared) about Firefox
On a more positive note, I think we're going to see something similar to Blender with Godot Engine. They only have 15k/month and the progress is very fast
- victornomad 4y agoI agree with you. It's sad how Firefox went the that route... Also the community plays a very big role promoting Blender and pushing the development. We can see that with Geometry Nodes. The adoption in the community has been really great and also helped iterating and improving the system.
