If other professions had the option to pick up free toolboxes that aren't necessarily the best quality in the world, but are decent enough, then I'm sure many of them would be pretty damn happy about it.
- pjmlp 4y agoThey do, not everyone buys 5 star tools, but they buy.
- frou_dh 4y agoThat would be disrupted by ToolHub, a big warehouse that's open 24/7, where you can walk in and pick up a toolbox of 3-star tools for free.
- pjmlp 4y agoEven paying for tools at existing 1€ shops is more than many currently do. ToolHub would need at very least to pay electricity and materials for their replicator devices, and when the bill becomes too high, the shop would close doors.
- frou_dh 4y agoMy point is that it's not exactly a moral failing of a software developer compared to another professional, if the other professional doesn't even have the opportunity to make such a decision
- pjmlp 4y agoWhen one decides to pay more for suppa-duppa-chai-latte refills at coffee of choice than tooling, it is.
