Software developers as developers: "Why does that random guy still pay for v1??? It's 20 years old, using Java 5 and old crap, let's force them to upgrade!!!!"
Software developers as users: "Don't force me to upgrade"
The hypocrisy is tangible and close to mind boggling.
- Spivak 4y agoAs Devs: “I don’t want to maintain the old version. Don’t force work on me.” As Users: “I don’t want to upgrade to the new version. Don’t force work on me.” It’s not hypocritical to want your cake and eat it too. It’s only hypocritical if you think it’s wrong for companies to force people to upgrade and then doing that. Not liking when your parents forced you to eat vegetables and making your kids eat vegetables isn’t hypocrisy.
