How to Misunderstand Open Source

Posted by timothy on from the in-light-of-recent-events dept.

Sam Hiser writes "This article intends to clear up some misconceptions about open source software development practices. It can help developers, IT and business managers transition from a closed development environment to an open one characterized by shorter time-to-market and lower costs. The author, Tom Adelstein -- an experienced CPA, code developer, project manager and consultant -- makes clear the notion that Open Source Software bears a mark of professionalism."

    think about it for real.. money is bullshit

    Tell that to your landlord next time you try to pay your rent in bullshit.

    we don't need it.. its just nature's way.. we grow up, and strive to be better than your fellow man.. go to college for the primary reason of graduating, getting a good job that pays you lots of money.. and for what??

    To pay bills with? WTF... are you still living in mommy and daddy's basement or something? Real people have real bills (rent/mortgage, food, etc.) that have to be paid with real money. That's why we work: to have the money to have things in life. When you grow up, you'll understand that.
