A co-worker at as past job once said:
"We pay for the services we use so that if they break, the Managing Director can pick up the phone, yell at someone and something will happen. That doesn't work with Open Source."
- satvikpendem 4y ago> That doesn't work with Open Source. If you pay for a support contract, you too can yell at someone to get something to happen. It's not related to open source but to whether you're paying money for the service.
- jacobr1 4y agoBut in that case the open-source part is irrelevant. You are paying for the operations/hosting, not more generic dev-support.

I was once invited to their lair and I couldn’t help notice the leaderboards, the brass bell to be rung when deals were closed, and the smell of Axe deodorant. Quote literally the set of Boiler Room, except on the posh n-th floor of Amsterdam business district
