Ask HN: What's your take on the "Post-Open Source" movement?

• gjsman-1000 2y ago
  (Edit: I misread the title as “the open-source movement” instead of the “post-open-source movement.” I’m not deleting my comments but I recognize it’s fairly off topic from that misreading.) A movement that does an incredible job when writing reusable libraries, and generally an abysmal job at writing full-size software. If I had to pay a nickel for every time someone’s MIT-licensed library saved my life… I’d be much poorer. However, I will never be able to convince any Excel user that LibreOffice is a viable substitute, because it absolutely isn’t. Forget about the disability slur compared to Photoshop. Darktable is not a Lightroom substitute. Blender’s the only bright spot - ironically because they decided ruffling feathers and redesigning it completely was the right decision.

  A quick summary of the term would be helpful.

    I had to look it up because I didn't know what Post open source means. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_open_source https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_open_source
