You sure you like this analogy? Every ambitious restaurant (Michelin stars, World's 50 Best, that type) uses small farmers to try obtain higher quality produce.
It's chain restaurants and shitty family restaurants that use the large suppliers.
- razakel 1y agoYou go to those restaurants for a boutique experience. You can't run an enterprise based on whatever your suppliers have available on the day.
- dismalaf 1y agoI was mostly pointing out it's a bad analogy. That being said, maybe the "small supplier" side of IT is actually OSS + in-house engineers?
