In a perfect world, perhaps, everybody would align behind a single effort, and they would all agree on a vision and be able to all coordinate and work together

In a perfect world, perhaps, everybody would align behind a single effort, and they would all agree on a vision and be able to all coordinate and work together effectively and make use of all of the time that everyone has available in the most efficient way possible. And they would all have exactly the right skills to fill all of the gaps, and there would be no overlap.
But we do not live in that world. The idea that each person‘s efforts are interchangeable and can just be dropped into a project is mistaken.

- Intermernet 2y agoAlthough this is true in a mathematical sense, it's also mathematically true that there are exactly 100 times as many numbers between 0 and 100 than between 0 and 1. Yay infinity!
- jauntywundrkind 2y agoNothing scares me more than people supposing authoritarian efficiency is the dream state. Open source is better because it's disjointed & chaotic. It's advantage is that it doesn't get stuck, is moving and changing. New ideas happen, are iterated upon. Different people try different things catering to different use cases/scenarios/users. Open source covering so much terrain so many ways is its strength. It's an enduring base of antifragility, by not being one unsinkable vast idea.
