The author is very good at pointing out the problem yet offers no solution of his own. How else do you manage a mostly opensource ecosystem and not end up with different versions of everything? We don't get an answer for that. Maybe I should write an article about articles that offer no solution to problems people know exist.
- emmanueloga_ 12y agoI find this objection ("he doesn't offer a solution") almost always invalid. There's value in pointing out problems even if you don't know a solution. "A problem clearly stated is a problem half solved". If you can't convince people a problem exists (and there doesn't seem to be a consensus just browsing comments here), then it doesn't seem very fruitful to start talking about solutions.
