One also could say that the opposite of open source is superstition.
It works with the example given in the article: OneNote is proprietary software, and it is documented, though incompletely. Had it been open source, one could see exactly how shape recognition works, bugs, quirks and all. No documentation will give that amount of detail.
Sure, not everyone has the time and skills for that, but maybe someone on stackoverflow does and have answered the question with proof, that is, not a superstition.
- ozim 2y agoWell one note is one thing - other thing is using open source libraries by devs. No one has time to read the code in depth so it is also mostly reading tea leaves like „oh it has a lot of stars and a lot of downloads so it must be good”. Don’t get me started on left pad ;)
