Dumb title, of course it does
Author is trying to say Open Source businesses do not win by being cheaper.
Open source codebases win all the time by being cheaper, no one pays for compression algorithms or network time daemons or media transcoders. Open source obliterated those markets entirely.
- jameshart 3y agoYes, the switch of context at the ‘Profit not usage is the measure of success’ heading, from talking about open source tools to open source businesses was so abrupt it gave me whiplash. I went back and reread the first paragraphs to check I hadn’t missed some words.
- bee_rider 3y agoYes, it actually seems like a pretty interesting post about open source code producing businesses. It is just annoying that the title is incorrect by literally one word.
